What Does Large Pimple On Chest Which Bleeds Occasionally Indicate?
My husband has a large pimple like spot on his chest just on the inner left peck.... It bleeds a lot then scabs up and looks black... When the scab comes off it bleeds so much he can soak a wash cloth. He has had this for 2 months, I keep telling him to go to the dr. But he is stubborn. Could this be serious?
