Please: get an exam with a doctor or a provider familiar with women's health, online diagnosis will be pure trial-and error. Good luck.

Purple Spots: Angiokeratomas are small dark red to purple raised spots. They may also have a rough scaly surface. They are composed of surface blood vessels (dilated capillaries). Often unnoticed, they may become crusty and bleed if accidentally scratched or damaged, or a harmless clot may form in the lesion (thrombosis), changing the colour to dark purple or black overnight-Benign lesions.
