I can't find this topic anywhere. I had two shave skin biopsies. The hole on the first is white/pink. On the second, I had a small, perfectly round, red spot removed. The resulting "hole" was blue. The original spot was about 1/4" in diameter and I just noticed it a month or so ago. It's on my leg betwen my knee and hip, so I would have seen it. The derm didn't comment on what she thought it was, just said she was taking it off. It's been 6 days and there's still a blue in there. ALso what looks like a tiny red vein across the site. I'm wondering if the blue is a vein below the site? Could the bottom of a red mole be blue? I'm worrying myself sick only because it'll be 2-3 weeks b-4 I get the results, and she never said what she though it was originally.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

 Hello,The shave biopsy is the simplest of the biopsy procedures and done if there is only a superficial problem expected.The only possible complication that if it is taken from the leg area healing may be a little slow.You need not worry about the color because a mild bleed from a superfical vessel may show as bluish pigment.Do await the biopsy report and if there is a wound infection you may be given a external antibiotic like mupurocin.Bestwishes.
