What Could Burise And Painful Swelling Around A Mole In Forearm Indicate?
I have a mole on my right forearm that I have had since childhood. it is roughly the circumfrence of a sweet pea. In the last 24hours i have notice swelling and a bruise forming around and it feel like possibly under neith the mole. it is quite painful and seems to continue to worsen. Could this be a sign of a serious problem or is it mosl likely just a bruise that happens to be located in the same area as a mole??
