View allI've had this red raised spot on my collarbone for over two weeks now. It's a bit tender and hasn't gotten any smaller or healed at all. It doesn't look like a usual spot, so I'm unsure if I should try to pop it. It feels hard to touch and seems like it's filled with something, perhaps blood. Should I be concerned about this?
