What is this ‘spot’? Pics included

Hoping someone can advise what this may be!

It’s on my side, on a stretch mark. Been there maybe a month? No real pain unless really squeezed, doesn’t appear to have a head.

Any ideas?

Looks like a mole to me - I get new ones grow sometimes. Don't squeeze it and make sure you keep an eye on it to see if it changes

Is it like this OP?
I also have no idea mine almost caves in on itself and only has pain if squeezed I've had it for about 4 years and it randomly appeared. It's on my upper arm.
I went to my GP who was very dismissive and said it was nothing to worry about although it has grown since.
It has a weird texture to it too. I think I have one on my hip too although have a v.bad tattoo (🙃) that covers it so I can't see it.

No not a mole, it’s purple and a dome shape, like a boil.

I don’t think it’s the same @thetombliboo but it’s frustrating when you don’t know what it is! Are you concerned about it growing?

I have a mole just like that that appeared when I was pregnant, also very dark and dome shaped. I went to the doc as it looked so different to all of my other moles but he wasn't concerned.

Might be a dermatofibroma? If it bends in when pinched then it probably is. I got one on the back of my thigh when pregnant 5 years ago and it’s still there. Wish it would go away but I believe they are harmless and return if removed so it’s pointless to get them cut out Dermatofibroma
