Bump under freckle?
I noticed a bump that is painful underneath a seemingly normal freckle, on my arm. I have freckles and moles sporadically on my body, and I believe most if not all have always been there. I noticed the bump underneath this freckle a few days ago, and noticed when I touched it, it hurt. It feels like a bruise. But, there is definitely a freckle on top that has always been there. Any help/advice is appreciated.
