Picture attached.
I have a referral to Dermatology but have a while to wait.

Should I be concerned about this?

I have melanoma and no, it doesn’t look particularly worrying to me. But I think it’s good you get it checked out for your own peace of mind. If it’s not a cancer pathway referral (you wouldn’t have a while to wait if that was the case, I was seen in 5 days, surgery 3 weeks later), then that sounds promising. To me, it looks more like eczema or a similar patchy rash.

Thanks for replying. I've actually gone private but still a few weeks wait.

Looks very much like a patch of actinic keratosis that I have on my forehead. I went to the Mole Clinic to get it checked out (cost £40) and they confirmed. Got a referral to GP who said no treatment needed for now, just make sure to use SPF. So definitely get it checked for your peace of mind.

Sorry to hear about your Melanoma.
