Kindly meet a Dermatologist to assess if there are other moles elsewhere in your skin.The other thing to remember is you may reconsider removal if you have given anyone of these moles as identify proof somewhere like on a passport or driving license. You can still get it removed but then you need to carry the medical certificate stating the details of the procedure. Laser and excision are two options with their independent merit and demerits. There will be any scar but a stitch line that will faint away with time and some treatment.

I've noticed this red and purple bruise under my belly on the right side, and I'm stumped about how it got there. Should I be worried about this? Is there something in particular that could cause a bruise to appear without injury?

The symptoms you are describing could be due to a minor trauma or injury that you may not remember. To help with the bruising and pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. Additionally, you can apply a cold compress to the area to reduce swelling and pain. If the bruise does not improve or if you experience any other concerning symptoms, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm worried because I got a burn near my ankle from a bike silencer about a week ago. It's not swollen or blistered, but the skin is dark red and it feels stretched. It doesn't hurt, but it feels dry and itchy sometimes. Now there's a mark where the burn was. I bought Sofinox cream thinking it might help with the burn mark, but I'm not sure if it's the right thing to use. Could you suggest a better cream to help remove this mark?

Sofinox cream could potentially help lighten the burn mark

I've had these two small pimple-like bumps on the side of my cheek for a few months now. At first, I thought it was just acne, but theyre not going away. Do you think it could be a cyst or something else?

not a cyst
