What Causes Small Spots On The Forearm Filled With Blood?
I have small flat mole looking spots appearing on my forearm, (it used to be one, but in the last week I have 4 more) they will be silverish and then all of a sudden I will notice that they look like they are filled with blood, then over a week or two they slowly fade back to silverish. I have a history of melanoma, should I be concerned with these? They are on my right arm only. I am a 46 yo.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A history of melanoma and development of black colored moles on the forearm is suspicious of malignant melanoma.
prompt consultation with a dermatologist is required for clinical assessment.
Histopathological examination of the lesion also needs to be done for diagnosis and thus treatment.
Thanks and take care
