My daughter has a light purple tinged lump on her leg, it is around 6cm long and half as wide, it has been there for many months now, the first diagnosis was a keloid, second diagnosis by a skin specialist a benign mole. Yesterday it appeared to break open and some yellowish pus came out followd by a watery discharge. Is this a normal thing for a mole to do, and is purple a common colour for a mole?
Hi, Dear,Good Evening, and Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor. I went through your query details in depth.-In my opinion, in relation to the facts told by you, the purple lump appears to be -mostly-Infected Hematoma(caused by unnoticed hit on leg-with Chronic-Abscess formation.-To rule out the benign mole-I would advise an Excision biopsy of the burst out lump with its wall, to rule out any cancerous lump with necrosis with resultant abscess formation. This would fix the cause of the lump in your case. Hope this would resolve your worries about the lump on the leg. Wellcome again for many more queries to Chat Doctor online Clinic-from you and your friends
