Suggest Treatment For Bumps On Chest

I have a bump on my chest that has been here for almost a week and recently in the past two days it seems that when I bump it, it bleeds pretty bad. I looked online to see what it might be and some of the pictures that resemble what I have could possibly be melanoma.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi. Do not jump into conclusions yet. It can be only a benign.or noncancerous mass such as a sebaceous cyst. Go to a general surgeon for evaluation. The only way to know is a biopsy. For now keep it clean and covered with a sterile gauze dressing. Do not put pressure on it.
