What Does Bruising Around The Mole On Arm Suggest?
Question: The other day I noticed a perfectly symmetrical light colored bruise around a freckle/mole on my arm. I don't remember hitting it on anything and it didn't get dark like most of my bruises. It is not sore and my freckle/mole looks the same as it always has that I can remember. Do you know if this is dangerous? Have you seen or heard of this before?
Brief Answer:
It is not dangerous!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these changes around the mole and all the inconveniences this has caused you. I understand your fears and more so as it is commonly said that changes may be suggestive of cancer. The good news is that I have reviewed the attached mail and certainly there is nothing which raises the suspicion of a possible cancer here. I will recommend that you keep observing the mole and report any future changes to us/your doctor but there is no need to seek for any further medical care at this time with respect to this change reported/observed.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask of more information and clarifications if need be.
