A few days ago, I noticed this blood blister looking thing on my tummy, I've just googled and I'm scared by what I've read :(
This is a fairly new thing as I'd of noticed.

Excuse the stretch marks

I'd get that checked out, OP. Hopefully nothing but better to be safe than sorry.

Loopylou6 · 12/08/2018 19:17

I feel sick

Don't feel sick.... it's almost certainly nothing. Why don't you ask a pharmacist for an opinion if you don't want to go to the doctor?

Mabelface · 12/08/2018 19:20

Looks like you've pinched yourself on something, like a zip.

Loopylou6 · 12/08/2018 19:25

I googled and it looks exactly like it.
I only wear leggings, so no zip unfortunately.
Anyone have similar?

Look up the abcde of moles. That soesnt look dodgy to me, but go and get it checked to put your mind at rest.

Ruth2009 · 12/08/2018 19:29

Sorry, just realised it's a blood blister, not a mole, but even so, I wouldn't be panicking about it.

Hadalifeonce · 12/08/2018 19:29

I've had one of those for years, never given it a 2nd thought.

TheCrowFromBelow · 12/08/2018 19:32

I have a few of these, plus skin tags and moles.
I don’t think they are anything to worry about, but seeing your GP will set your mind at rest and we can’t really diagnose from a photo.

Loopylou6 · 12/08/2018 19:36

Thank you for replies. I reckon its been there a week or so.
Can nasty things just appear?

Littlefish · 12/08/2018 19:43

I have one of these on the back of my arm. It's been there for years.

lurkingattheback · 12/08/2018 19:47

Goggled and it looks like what? Goggle is not your
Friend for diagnosing.

RedLemonade · 12/08/2018 19:48

It would be spectacularly unlikely a melanoma would just appear like that OP. Get your GP to have a look. It does look like a blood blister or a Campbell de Morgan spot- neither of which are nasty, but you’d need someone who knows what they’re looking at to look at it in person.

DeathByMascara · 12/08/2018 19:52

I’ve had one of these! Popped it. Was awesome.

I’ll just head back to Sporner’s Corner...

Loopylou6 · 12/08/2018 19:54

@Littlefish is it exactly the same? Black, perfectly round and slightly raised?
I appreciate all your replies

OP posts:
Littlefish · 12/08/2018 19:57

Yes, exactly the same! I'll try and take a photo of it in a minute and upload it. I once stuck a needle in it to see what would happen. All that happened is that it bled a bit and then stopped. It then had a small scab on it for a few days and then went back to the same as before.

Loopylou6 · 12/08/2018 20:01

Thank you so much x

This is mine.

Thanks little fish, yours looks a red colour, mine is black

OP posts:
Loopylou6 · 12/08/2018 21:46

Anyone else?

OP posts:
LeighaJ · 12/08/2018 23:05

When I've had those I just washed the area, sterilized a pin or sewing needle, gently insert, squeeze out whatever is in there, wash again and put a healing ointment and small bandage on. They seem to go away after that.

If you're really worried though then see a GP.

AnyFucker · 12/08/2018 23:11

I have had one of those on my tummy for years

My H has one that grew so big it looks like a 3rd nipple. He is still alive to tell the tale.

Loopylou6 · 13/08/2018 08:23

@LeighaJ @AnyFucker where/are yours jet black? I've really wound myself up about this to the point I'm shaking, pathetic I know. In my defence tho, I'm a chronic anxiety sufferer, who's just managed to come off tablets that I've been on for 12 years Hmm
