Dear Jennifer:
In my experience, when a "blood blister" doesn't go away, it often
turns out to be a neoplasm, either of blood vessels or of the scent
glands. At this point, lets make an appointment to go and have it
totally removed this time (and of course sent off for pathology.)
With kindest regards,
