Purple Circular Mark On Forearm, Black Lines On Skin. Should I Seek Medical Attention?
Hi, A few days ago I noticed a very purple circular mark on my forearm . I don t remember bumping it, and it only a wee bit ouchy to the touch. Today I noticed there are horizontal lines, about five of them, black and equal distance apart. This looks so unusual, almost as if the marks were branded on. What could this be, and should I seek medical attention? Thank you
