I'm so cross with myself for even coming on here as I have been doing so well!
I am concerned about a mark on my shin, it started as a tiny black slightly raised mark, no bigger than a normal freckle (about 2mm x 2mm). I panicked for a couple of days then forgot about it.
Anyway, last night I had an itch. When I looked down it was on the exact spot of my mark, the skin around it was red. The mark is now more of a brown colour and it has what looks like a bit of a line across it with a very slight pick mark like when you pick the head off a bite. The redness has gone now and it hasn't really itched since but now it feels a bit painful to touch but I don't know if that's because I haven't left it alone and I caught it a bit last night.
It is still 2mm x 2mm. I'm not sure if it's more raised than it was.
Is it normal for it to change from black to brown and how do I differentiate between it being a freckle or a mole?!
