Weird skin thing - have you seen anything like this before?

[Knic]

Hi I have a mark on my thumb which is making me so anxious, it appeared a couple of weeks ago and I thought I remember burning it but now I’m not so sure and even if I did I have not had a burn like it before as it’s completely flat and not raised!

It is about 2.6mm and dark red/brown, it’s a weird shape - looks like a flame. It’s not faded since it appeared, and doesn’t hurt/itch and isn’t raised. Thinking of seeing the dr but getting an appointment isn’t easy so won’t be for a few weeks.

Thank you for reading.

Hi Knic, it might be worth sending this photo and your text to your GP and they may well ask you to come in/refer you on to dermatology.

Dear Knic,

Can I suggest, that you, 'talk' to your nearest Pharmacist? An often Overlooked resource, they are Highly Qualified AND IF the Pharmacist does phone your Doctor, you WILL get an appointment!
