What Causes Blood Filled Spot On Arm?
I have a spot on my arm that originally looked like acne. It was dark in color and sore. The first time it popped a lot of puss and blood came out. Almost spraying each time it was squeezed. Thick blood squeezed out for several minutes. I thought it was healing 2 different time and each time it returned weeks later. Any ideas?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A history of bleeding from sore and oozing out of pus is suggestive of bacterial infection in the sore.
You need to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and prescription of the medication.
In the meanwhile do not squeeze the lesion and allow it to heal.
Thanks and take care
