A member asked:
Today i noticed a mole with a small purple bruise around it - it is deep purple in colour and almost like a perfect circle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dermatologist: Any mole that undergoes change in size, shape or color warrants an evaluation by a dermatologist. The purple discoloration may have been caused by leakage of blood from a skin capillary and may fade,away after several days or a week. However if the mole looks different from before, get it checked.
