Suggest Remedy For Skin Ailments
Hi I have a 1mm black spot appear today on my leg - it is slightly raised. At first I thought it was a grain of sand stuck to my skin as that is exactly how it looks. I have a few cherry spots in my leg as well - it looks like this but dark brown/ black colour. I ve had 2 benign moles removed but I do have a lot if moles so worry this could be something of concern.

Hi,
The black spot which is elevated may be pigmented melanocytic nevus... may be compound nevus...also called mole.The red dot like lesions might be cherry angiomas. Both are harmless condition,
If you feel no problem with the lesions,let keep them untreated. Otherwise you consult the dermatologist for the proper treatment.
I would suggest..
- electrocautery under local anaesthesia
I hope this would help you.
Thanks.
