Acne On Mole?
Posted: 08-07-05 17:13pm

Hi there, I was wondering if anybody knew if it is possible if you can get acne on a mole? I have a quarter sized mole on my hip that i've had since birth. Recently I noticed a small bump on it that looked like a pimple (red and kinda tender) this mole has not changed in any other way what so ever, size, shape, colour...Etc. I kinda picked at it a little and it poped and then scabed over. It is not inflamed anymore but if I poke at it it gets inflamed again. It healed nicely but is takeing its time to totaly disapear....Could this be because the pigment in the skin is different? Any help would be really apreciated.
Thanks

Make sure that lesion heals completely. If it does not or reoccurs, I would definitely have it checked out immediately. I only say that because if it is anything, it's important to catch it early.

^ I agree.. You can get pimples under moles.. But if it doesn't heal in a few days like a normal pimple, I would get it checked out.
