Do you mean your chicken's comb on top of the head? A black spot could some times be just a little scab from a random peck from another chicken. If it doesn't go away or if you see more spots appear try to post a photo to get more feedback.

Looks to me like another chicken left a good mark from a peck. If it doesn't get bigger or spread I wouldn't worry too much.

It is all over the comb and a couple spots on the leg

Another possibilitiy is dry fowl pox. Here is a thread with a pic: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/657136/fowl-pox

I have read the dry form is not dangerous for the chickens.

Thank you so much that is what it looks like. I thought it might be but still really new to having chickens so I was not sure it is not the wet kind, so I guess I just wait it out.

Fowl pox. It will most likely run its course.

you could also dab some iodine on it to dry it faster. I did on my chicks and the stuff just dried off and fell off in a few days.
