Mole On Leg, Brown Bruising. History Of Moles. Medical Attention Required?
Hi, I have a small mole on my leg, over the past few days I have noticed light brown bruising around it. I don t remember hitting my leg and I m not sure exactly how long it s been there....the mole itself is tiny but I do have lots of bigger more oddly shaped moles (some of which have been checked before with no concerns). My question is, how long should I wait to see if it is a bruise and will therefore disappear before seeing a doctor?

Hi and welcome to Healthcare magic.Thank you for the query.
if there wasnt trauma around this mole, i think you should visit doctor. This is not serious but it may indicate some dysplastic changes and dermatologic examination is necessary. Just dont take a risk.
Wish you good health. Regards
