What Can A Small And Black Spot On The Hand Be Indicative Of?
Hi, recently I have discovered a black dot on my hand. At first I thought it was just a pen mark and ignored it. Obviously weeks later I know its not pen. It s black, about 1mm, not really raised, but enough so you could feel it if you run your finger over it. It came really suddenly, and it s really circular, I m really stressed out thinking it s cancer, but I have to wait a week to see a GP :(

Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
It is difficult to comment on it without examination, so I would either suggest you to see doctor for examination and for exact diagnosis or upload the pictures here, I'll go through them, and provide you with specific advice.
It might be mole or small hematoma as result of blunt trauma, but needs examination to confirm
Hope this helps.
Take care
