Abstract: It is well known that, in general, the set of commutators of a group $G$ may not be a subgroup. Guralnick showed that if $G$ is a finite $p$-group with $pge5$ such that $G^{\prime }$ is abelian and $3$-generator, then all the elements of the derived subgroup are commutators. In this paper, we extend Guralnick's result by showing that the condition of $G^{\prime }$ to be abelian is not needed. In this way, we complete the study of this property in finite $p$-groups in terms of the number of generators of the derived subgroup. We will also see that the same result is true when the action of $G$ on $G^{\prime }$ is uniserial modulo $(G^{\prime }{)}^p$ and $|G^{\prime }:(G^{\prime }{)}^p|$ does not exceed $p^{p-1}$. Finally, we will prove that analogous results are satisfied when working with pro-$p$ groups.
