strange lump on leg

I hope someone can help me here, though I know my best bet is probably to see a dermatologist.
I have an odd lump on the left side of my left thigh. It might be a wart, but I had a seed wart on my hand which was very different. This feels like a thick callous, but raised slightly and concentrated in an area about the size of a pea. It is darker than the skin around it, but not really pigmented differently, not like a mole. I don't remember a specific date it appeared, maybe five years ago.
I was just wondering if anyone has experienced something similar or knows what it is. Thanks!

I have the same thing. Mine has a little whole in the middle though. I dont know what it is, but when it first showed up 4 or 5 years ago it was really swollen, then now its a dark hard spot with no feeling in the middle of it. I really need some advice 2!

Is it hard?  Does it itch sometimes?  Or if you apply pressure does it hurt at all?  I have something very similar on my back near my shoulder but mine is about the size of a dime.  Doctors that have just looked at it beleive it is a cyst (gangloin).  Ley me know what you find out...
