What Does A Painful Skin Tag On Shoulder Indicate?
About a month a go I noticed of what appeared to be a pimple on my back near my right blade . It has turned into a little piece of extra skin that bleeds when trying to scab up. It s going on 3 weeks where it seems it s drying out but then gets swollen again and bleeds. It does not hurt nor itch but it is bothersome when having to change shirt. I have been keeping it covered with a band aide and an alcohol pad but it does not go away.

It may be a pyogenic granuloma. Get it checked by a dermatologist in person. Most likely it will completely removed without any complications
