I keep getting this blister appearing on my leg, Its like a blood blister, but i havent damaged the area.
Its seems to appear when i am stressed or after air travel so im guessing its blood pressure related. And it normally fades away after a week or so. Ive had this for the last 7 years or so, appearing once or twice a year. it seems to be larger this time than previous

Its about 3mm across and 1.5mm raised. Im 29, male, and in very good health

Bob, I would definitely go and get that checked. Even the doctors on here will tell you to go to your GP because s/he will have a better understanding of your overall health and will be able to examine you properly.
My Dad has T-Cell Lymphoma (Skin Cancer) and his skin didn't even give him any warning signs.
I'm sorry to scare you but you just can't take any risks with your health. I urge you to go and see your GP.
Will you let us know how you get on?
Oh dear, that looks pretty sore & flaming Bob.

If you've had this on & off for 7 years, it's obviously deep rooted & probably won't go away on its own.

I'd do as cheries has suggested & make an appointment with your GP a.s.a.p.

Good luck.
Yes get it checked by a doctor asap. My aunt has skin cancer and she has those looking things. I'm not saying yours is that but it looks and sounds serious to me.

Thanks guys, i will get it checked out, Im almost certain its not cancerous, as inbetween having it it fades away to just a small area of slightly darker skin. any abnormal growth would not dissappear for long periods of time.

Im not living in the UK anymore, so a visit to a GP is not possible, but i'll take a visit to the local health centre to get a referral to a hospital.

Anymore comments are more than welcome...

just an update, I had this removed a few months after the original question was posted.

Skin doc said it was an Eruptive angioma or something, said it was deeper than normal, and sent it off for testing, results came back normal.
