Changing Mole: It's always a good idea to watch your moles over time and be familiar with their size and appearance. In some cases, a change in the appearance of a mole can be the first sign of melanoma. If the bruising you've mentioned does not fade over the next few days, make an appointment with your primary care doctor or dermatologist.
