Aibu for being anxious over this mark

[Doodliedo]

I struggle with anxiety so probably overthinking it but a week ago this red mark appeared on my arm , which is painless and not caused by anything obvious. I assume it's a mole it has become a bit crusty on top but just seems to be one colour and has appeared from what seems to be nowhere. Please can anyone reassure me that it looks innocent and I should just relax or am I being reasonable to think that it may need checking out?

Red mark

It just looks like a bite to me, the sort of thing I wouldn't give a second thought to. I think you're worrying unnecessarily.

The mark doesn't feel irritating though, which confused me. I do have some past trauma, as I had to have a mole removed through a biopsy 3 years ago and a close family history of cancer. It's made me extra cautious. I just don't want to have to go to see a Dr unnecessarily.

I think it looks like a bite too. I'm not a medical professional but it wouldn't concern me. If you're worried could you pop into a pharmacy for them to have a look at it?

It’s hard that see from a picture. If it’s still there in a week get it checked out.

Go to the Dr's and get it checked out for your peace of mind

I was going to say a bite as well, could try some bite and sting cream/antihistamine and see if that helps. That would be a clue if it does take the redness down.

If you’re worried, call in to the pharmacy today.
