AIBU to ask for a second opinion?

After seeing a practice nurse this week she advised me to watch and wait to see how these bumps continue to develop.

My DD has had the large ones for years, the smaller ones for a few months. They aren't causing any issues other than rubbing on shoes occasionally so I'm not overly concerned but they are becoming more numerous and I can't help but feel nervous about what they are.

AIBU to go back to the GP? I really don't want to undermine the nurses assessment.

I'd 100% be going for a second opinion. Id at least want someone to be able to say what they thought it might be, even if the next steps were still just "watch and see"

If I remember correct from a previous post the last couple of years have been a watch and see but just not with them being known by the doctors, I would insist on a GP appointment and ask for a referral to a dermatologist as they will know a lot more about what they are

I wonder if they are piezogenic papules.

Ganglian cysts?
