Hello,

I can understand your concern for purple reddish colored mole on inside of right leg.

Any of the mole if is increasing in size or is bleeding or changing the color, then is to be taken care of immediately.

I suggest you to meet a dermatologist or surgeon where the mole should be excised and sent for biopsy by histopathological examination.

A course of antibiotic might be required to prevent the secondary infection. I request you to not to touch, pinch or pop the area as can cause secondary infection and further complication.

All the best.
