On my 10yo. Grown quite rapidly over the past few weeks. I’ve sent in a picture to the GP who just made me feel a bit silly. But seems to be growing fast and hairdresser suggested germolene today.
AIBU to do a GP consult asap? Or should I just leave it? (I’d love to know what it actually is….)

What did the GP say? How big is it?

I think if it's causing discomfort and it's got worse since you last spoke to GP, it's right to make a new appointment.

See a different GP. There’s something not right about that. Don’t be fobbed off.

Have a Google of pyogenic granuloma. One the size of a pea grew on my lip when I was pregnant. Gp did a referral but it was 10week wait on the nhs for removal. Cost me £300 to have it shaved off at a private clinic.

Maybe a cyst or lipoma
I'd see the GP again if its hurting.
Where is it?
