black circle on skin - #19476
I am really worried about this black circle on my skin that appeared outta nowhere last week. I noticed it on my left forearm while I was just sitting at my desk. At first, I thought it was just a bruise or something, but it hasn't gone away and has actually gotten a bit darker and bigger. It's kinda like a perfect circle, which is super odd, right? I’ve had some allergic reactions in the past, but this black circle on my skin doesn’t itch or hurt, it just looks weird. I've tried putting some hydrocortisone cream on it, thinking maybe it was a reaction to something but no luck. I even googled black circle on skin and saw a bunch of scary stuff about skin conditions—like, it could be a sign of melanoma or other serious things! Ugh, now I'm totally freaked out. Should I be getting this black circle on my skin checked out right away, or is it something that could just go away on its own? Anyone else had a black circle on skin like this before? What did you do? I’ve never dealt with anything like this and I’m feeling a little lost.
