Suggest Treatment For Blood Blister On Back

Posted on Tue, 14 Jul 2015

Question: Hi, just noticed this mole on my back, it could be a blood blister as i did bump my back the other night but it looks pretty ordinary and im on holidays!

Brief Answer:
does look like blood blister

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
From the photo you provided it does look like it could be a blood blister. If so don't pop it just leave it alone and it should resolve. If it does not resolve over the next 2-3 weeks then when you get back home have your doctor take a look at it to make sure that it is nothing serious. It is not an emergency, enjoy your holiday.
Let me know if you have further questions,
