What do you think this is on my arm? I am pretty sure I scratch my self at night (menopausal) but my DH is concerned. It is only on my arms.

100% see the GP. Probably nothing worrying but definitely needs to be looked at.

That looks really nasty. Is this the only place on your body where it's appeared?

It’s like a blood blister and disappears until I scratch again though- is that worrying?

Only on my arms when i scratch at night - I do that in my sleep by the way, not intentionally

I thought blood blister as soon as I saw it. Definitely get it looked at

I doubt if it’s anything major but it really does need to be checked. Ring the GP on Monday

Are you on any medications that could potentially thing your blood?

But yeah. 100% docs to be safe! X
