Is this anything to worry about? It's on my upper thigh has been there at least 2 years never heals. Doesn't hurt or itch. Just looks like a scab which has never healed.

Go to your GP to check it out. I have had Melanoma twice, am cancer free at the moment. Your GP may remove it or refer you. Don't do nothing just in case.

Hi there, Here at Skcin we always recommend if you are worried about a blemish, lesion or mole then please visit your GP and they will be able to refer you if they are concerned. If in doubt, get it checked out. Please let us know how you get on. Thanks Team Skcin
