It looks like a Mole.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I saw the pic.
It looks like a Mole.
As per medical literature, spontaneous regression of the Mole is described.
So, the Mole over your abdomen is disappearing and reappearing.As the surface of the lesion is smooth , nothing to worry.
You should observe any change in size,ulceration, any growth over the swelling. If you observe any change,Biopsy should be taken and Melanoma should be ruled out.
Please visit a doctor and discuss about this possibility.
Hope I answered your query. If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.

A mole? this is a large black and blue mark that is real dark right now. It has come and gone a couple times. I don't understand how that can be a mole. Maybe I just don't realize a mole can look like that. It is just a scary little thing. This thing is not on my skin like a usual looking mole as I have several of them. Thank you for your time.
