I’ve had this mole most of my life and it just started getting darker and being painful. It is also now raised like a blister may be. Not sure if I scratched it accidentally? Just noticed yesterday as it’s on my side under my arm. Blood blister from an accidental scratch or possible melanoma?

Dear rachelmarie583. If you have had MRSA more than once, you could possibly be a carrier for MRSA and your suspicion should be high that you have it again if you have any red, pimple like skin lesions. MRSA needs to be treated right away. It is very contagious by contact...
I recommend following up with your cosmetic dermatologist for an evaluation and after care recommendations. I recommend Silagen + Bioshield to promote healing. Any scarring can be improved with lasers and microneedling/prp. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
As I so often have to respond to patients who write letters like yours, this is a great place for advice and referrals, but no website is a substitute for a real time visit with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. You live in a city where there are many to choose from.
