Brief Answer:
Continue to observe only at this time!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this black spot that you have reported. I have reviewed the image fully and this seems to have resulted from a blood clot underneath the skin. I will say keep monitoring only for now and seek further information if this increase in size or something else comes up. With it not increasing in size and no other symptoms, there is no immediate reason to get aggressive at this time.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.

Brief Answer:
Yes, if it was not fully resorbed!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Most clots are normally resorbed by the cells of the body. In rare circumstances, that fails to happen isn as such a blood spot stays back.

I wish you well and keep me updated!
