i have many light colored freckles on my arms and a few small moles here and there. the other day i noticed what looks like a purpllish mole. half of it is shiney, almost like a blood blister which is what i thot it was at first. i looked up pictures of melanoma and they described melanoma as being larger than the tip.of a pencil eraser. this is smaller than that. do u think i should have it checked or just watch it?

Definitely get it checked out just to be safe. It could be a broken blood vessel or any number if benign things but better to be safe than sorry.

Checked by a primary care doctor or dermatologist?

Whoever can biopsy it. I just found out my pearly little spot is an early-stage basal cell skin cancer. Nothing serious but needs to be removed.

PP again, what you described could be a basal cell, it sounds a bit like mine. Again, nothing serious but needs to be taken care of.

As others said, best to check it out of course. Is it symmetrical?
