Get it looked at by a doctor. We're not medics and anything that gets worse need to be seen by a doctor as soon as possible.

You might be better on the skin conditions forum. It looks like it might be a bite to me, so you could try some anithistamines. If it feels very hot, sore see your doctor as infection may have set in.

I would get it checked out by the doctor, they would be the best people to advise you. With anything like that it is always better to get it checked. Best of luck

Could be pre-cancerous cells that need to be seen by a doctor. I had something similar although it didn’t bleed, and was given cream to get rid of it. Good luck.

Definitely go and get it checked out by a doctor / dermatologist.

Heavens!! Don’t delay. Get it seen pronto. Could be anything from a bulls eye tick bite to a melanoma. Any inflamed and bleeding discoloured area or mole needs immediate attention. Good luck

Looks like typical wheat intolerance, try illuminating inflammatory foods and see if the rash gets worse or better, i was highly allergic to a filler in my thyroxine medication

I thought it was just one lump, not a rash.

Yes, you need to get it seen asap. It could be harmless but you need to be sure.

You said it changed colour. What colours exactly? Is it getting darker or lighter, or a mixture of colour? Did it start by looking like a mole? How long have you had it?

I would get it checked out by your Dr without delay, it could be the start of cellulitis - which is not very nice and if it is, you will need antibiotics to clear any infection.

What is the distance between the spots? I ask this because it might be the same as some creature's jaw width. Round here if its about 1/2 inch it is probably a snake bite, most likely a garter snake. I was gardening one evening in long grass. I felt nothing but had two little marks on my lower leg, with spots of blood, they were tooth marks of a non poisonous snake. That was quite an eye opener. The guy next door (fountain of wisdom - I don't think) told me to just wait until the morning, if it's poisonous you will sure know in the morning. He was right.

Not what you're looking for?
