Hi,

I would explain that digital imaging can certainly help examine even the deeper skin layers and determine if it is a benign or malign skin disorder.

Anyway, based on your description, I would conclude that it may be inflammation now.

For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a dermatologist as soon as possible in order to avoid further aggravation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
