Skin mole/inflammation... Any dermatologists here? ;)

[YossiS]

I woke up one day with this being pretty swollen, no real pain though. After a few days the swelling decreased and now, 6 months later, my skin is still funky. It looks like a mole with some sort of blood spot in the middle. On the inside of my arm, on my bicep near the elbow. I've been putting a bit of pregnenolone but it doesn't seem to have much of an effect.

That would make me uneasy for sure YossIS. If it just popped up overnight I would guess it would seem like a bite or something setting up house under your skin like ringworm.

Personally wouldn't be concerned as long as not changing shape and/or color and not painful. Not that big fortunately and not on a prime spot like face etc.

Wondering if it's some sort of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from a bite or something caustic:

Common Hyperpigmentation Disorders in Adults: Part II. Melanoma, Seborrheic Keratoses, Acanthosis Nigricans, Melasma, Diabetic Dermopathy, Tinea Versicolor, and Postinflammatory Hyperpigmentation

Nevi, or moles, are localized nevocytic tumors. The American Cancer Society's “ABCD” rules are useful for differentiating a benign nevus from malignant melanoma. While acanthosis nigricans may signal an underlying malignancy (e.g., gastrointestinal tumor), it more often is associated with...

Knew you'd get a laugh out of that. Three opportunities in one week to talk about sanding. ?

I would try some cortinon (progesterone+DHEA) - I had a similar looking thing develop on my belly last fall. Within 2-3 months of applying cortinon, it had disappeared. Not an instant fix, but it worked in my case.

Thanks all. Really appreciate it... I was worried I would gross everyone out and get no replies. It sounds like the usual remedies from Haidut will do the job with a bit of patience.
