    Hi, I have no idea, it could be a benign tumour such as angiokeratoma. Benign tumour are harmless but need be kept under observation or removed. Your doctor will decide what the best next steps are for you.

    You definitely need a doctors opinion, especially as they have changed. It could be an angiokeratoma as L2341 has said,but do see a doctor. You may need a biopsy.
