I have a black bump I guess you'd call it that is like a mole but if i scratch it the top comes off and it bleeds, then it just goes back to being this black bump kinda like a mole but its not a mole I thought it was a giant blackhead but like i said it just bleeds if i squeze it ....its on my leg. I don't get much sun but I do have chronic hep c it looks just like one of the pic's I saw about skin cancer.

Hi,

It seems that you are having cherry angioma .. also known as De Morgans spot.

there are many causes..liver diseases,DM,old age,hyperlipidemias,prenancy,idiopathic..i.e. without cause...
You should be investigated for internal diseases.

only clinical examination is sufficient to diagnose.

treatment is simple.

Electrocautery under local anaesthesia should be done.

For that, you consult dermatologist..ok

I hope you got my answer..

Thanks.
