What Causes A Blood Blister On The Shoulder?
I have this blood blister that has formed on the back of my shoulder which has been there approx 4 weeks now. It bleeds on occasions and when it does it pours out but it doesn t ever go away and remains quite big . It does look like a mole which I don t ever remember having there.

Hello dear. Kindly go to a dermatologist who will evaluate and seen what can be the possible reasons for the blood blister.
Some possibilities i can think of by your history is, it can be folliculitis going into an abcess. In this case it will heal with antibiotic treatment.
But we also need to take a biopsy to see if there is no pathology.
Hope i have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I ll be glad to help you.
All the best
With warm regards
