Purple mark after squeezing spot. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pinching a sore: Most mothers would tell you not to pinch or pick at lumps, bumps and sores. This sounds like you have bruised the tissue around the spot and this may prolong the healing of the sore. If it grows, becomes more painful or does not heal you will need to be seen.
