What Causes Purple Bruise Around A Mole On Rib Cage?
Hello, I just noticed there is a purple bruise around a mole that I have on the left side of my rib cage. I went to a dermatologist in April and checked all my moles. I was told they all look fine (including this one) and was asked to return in a year for a follow up. Furthermore, I recently slipped and fell on the left side of my body. Could that have caused the mole to bruise? Please advise. Thank you!

Hello,
Yes indeed, this is the cause. but if does not increase in size or there is no change in the colour or there is no pain, do not worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Salah Saad Shoman
