Should I be concerned about my mole? Turned into a blood blister. (Photo)

Question

I had a small brown mole on my leg since birth, last October it changed to a what looked likely a dark blood blister with a red ring round it (picture 1), after about 4 weeks it turned skin coloured (picture 2) but slightly raised and has been like that until a week ago. It has now started to turn into a blood blister again (picture 3)

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Moles can be removed with laser, radiowave or shave. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

The majority of all skin lesions are benign especially if you have had them since childhood. But any mole that changes in size, texture or color should ABSOLUTELY be removed to rule out cancer. Consult a surgeon this week. Good luck and take care.
