Struggling with low moods at present and have always had health anxiety but it has been under control lately. I have discovered something on my skin which has set me off again. Picture is attached, any advice would be appreciated.

I totally sympathise with chronic health anxiety. It doesn't look like what you are worried about- it's symmetrical, round, smooth edges, not mottled or bleeding. In face it looks like a blister?

Thanks dancing - got a lot of things going on at the moment Which I think has made me more vulnerable.

Ive got something similar on my shoulder. It started as a spot about 18 months ago and went to what looked like a mole but now it's sort of scabby. It's been itchy for months but I can't bring myself to get it checked . I know I should though

I'm building myself up to go. Hopefully we are both worrying for nothing

I’m not sure if it’s always been there and I’m picking up on it because I’m so low.
