Spot or potential cyst idk! (PIC INCLUDED)

Hi, sorry I didn't know which group to put this under!
Just curious as to what this black looking spot thing could be? I seem to get them quite a lot on my legs every now and then.
Before I'd been bitten by a mosquito and it left a lump under the skin then turned a dark colour then went but I still have the lump.
But this isn't a bite it feels like a small lump under the skin and it has a black head (gross I know!) I've tried popping it but it won't change or do anything. It's very slightly itchy and a tiny bit painful. I seem to get them a lot on my legs then they just leave bumps under the skin?
What are they and what can I do to get rid of them? Thank you!

It could be a bacterial skin infection, particularly as you keep getting these growths. I think it is something you need to show a dermatologist, they may not be seeing patients in person but they could be able to do a video call. You may need antibiotics and/or some type of lotion or body wash.

It looks like a dermatofibroma. A knot of tissue under the skin which can often form after an insect bite. No home cures but a dermatologist can help if you are bothered by them. They can be removed.
