Hi everyone
i have had a skin tag on my arm near to my elbow for a couple of years. Well, i’m ASSUMING its a skin tag, i never had it checked out because it was never an issue / didn’t look weird (but i did send daily photos to my boyfriend of it asking if he thinks its changed, lucky him! Lol)
anyway - the “skin tag” was almost exactly the same colour as my skin. Soft to touch, smooth, was never an issue and after a couple of months of noticing its on me, i was okay.
So i know 100% i have had this thing for a couple of years now.
today, i was out shopping. It was bloody hot this morning so i was leaning over a post while i was waiting for a taxi home. My arm began to really sting, almost like it was being pinched or pierced.
I rolled up my sleeve because i was like “what the heck is going on” and i saw my “skin tag” was jet black.
So now i’m concerned. Very concerned.
This is the only skin tag i have had to deal with, i always get my moles checked every so often to make sure everything is good with them
but this skin tag is really creeping me out. I know for a fact it was the same colour as my skin a few days ago because i got paint on my arm and was washing it off.
The skin around the black is red, leading me to think its irritated
and it now hurts if i lean on it or anything like that
Picture from today for reference
