Hi guys, I've jumped on here for a bit of advice and support really. A couple of weeks ago I noticed a black dot on my face. I thought I had accidentally had my biro the wrong way round and marked my face, but its a spot. It's exremely small but when I have taken a photo of it magnified, it doesn't look right. Will the GP take me seriously as its so tiny or should I wait and monitor it? I am of the generation that didn't take care of my skin in the sun as a teenager and worrying that this is a consequence!
Hi Lyssy and a very warm welcome to the Community but sorry to hear about your concerns.
Get yourself along to your GP and let them have a look at it….. and yes they will always look things over objectively.
Let’s look for this not to be anything to be concerned about
