See your MD: See your md, it could be nothing but a blue nevis, I am guessing, but you need a exam. See your doctor.

Eval: This can't be diagnosed with the information that is available. A history, physical examination & other studies may be needed to determine cause/causes. Once accurately assessed a treatment plan can be developed.
