Hi

2 Days ago I noticed what I thought might have been a new mole on my upper arm. I wasn't to sure and thought it also could have been a blood spot/vessel. It felt a bit raised and had a texture to it.

Not sure if its been there a while or not as its not really an area you properly examine very often.

I know you shouldn't but I cant resist picking at things and it did bleed a bit.

Have attached some pics , the first two are from before I picked at it , the 3rd is just after it bled and the 4th is what it looks like now.
