Could it possibly cause cancer?

I am 26 years old.
Last four years while I was playing basketball my right leg was hit by another player's knee, and it remained big black spot on my skin until now.
The black spot keep remaining on my skin for four years already and it itches me sometime, but there isn't another symptom.
Is it possible that I can get skin cancer of this?
Do I need to check with Doctor?
Is there anything I should do to treat this?
I do appreciate for any of your comments thanks!

Hi Zhoufa,

No, I do not think it is cancerous. I have a black spot on my arm because I accidently touched a hot stove. It is been there for about 6 months now.

However, please still check with the doctor to see what's happening.
