A member asked:
I have a light purple spot on my finger that hurts when i touch it, this is the second time this has happened, it fades away slowly. what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vessel: This suggests a blood vessel since it fades. Since it is tender your physician will have to evaluate what type of vessel is involved and why it is tender.
