Recurrent Moles Post Removal, Purple Spot With Bruise On The Leg With Shape Of Freckle. Possibility Of Melanoma?
Hi, I have had a few moles removed which have come back as problem moles, but never cancer . Yesterday I noticed a spot on my leg that is purple -- it sort of looks like a teeny-tiny round bruise right under the skin, but it s all the same shade (purple) and the shape of a freckle ...maybe 2mm in size...could it be just a weird bruise, or is it a sign of possible melanoma?

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
Definitely there is a possibility of melanoma.
You had recurrent moles in past and this suggests that you are at risk.
Please get a biopsy done.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
And get the medication prescribed.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
