I have a red oval shaped mark on my wrist.

I have a red oval shaped mark on my wrist. and it has been there for years... as long as I can remember and I am 18. It is not itchy, no pain, it has just been there forever. I was told it was from someone pinching me but it has never gone away.

A lot of people have random spots on their bodies like that, as long as it doesn't itch, isn't painful- doesn't change in size or symptoms, it's nothing to worry about- especially if it's been there as long as you remember.  It could even be a scar or birth mark- that you don't recall or something along those lines.  If it bothers you though, you can always get an opinion from a doctor who can take a look at it in person and give you a better idea.
