Getting this mole checked out - but making sure I am not wasting GP's time

I am fair skinned - covered in freckles, moles and cherry angiomas - but I discovered this the other day whilst cleaning my teeth - the skin looks different to the rest and it's on the back of my arm - so not in such a good place to see. It's about 3mm in size - and I'm not sure how long it's been there - but it's nothing like anything else I have on my body. After I took a couple of photo's the other day - I immediately booked an appointment with my GP. Anyone give me any advice/ thoughts? Thanks!

Hi - turns out it was a two tone cherry anginoma - who knew? ! To be honest I have loads of them - so I was glad to know it was nothing sinister. They did say always best to check.

Always get them checked, you're never wasting your GP's time. Glad it turned out to be harmless. :)
