It was flat and black but ever so often it would bleed (a problem because I take blood thinners). Then it would heal, etc. This went on for years.

Dermatology at the VA used a bit of flexible plastic with a razor on it, and scooped it off. It tested benign, thank goodness. The little round scar is smaller than a smallpox scar.
