GP or Health Visitor? Birth mark

Probably a daft question but here we go.

DS is 8 months old, mixed race and has a documented Mongolian blue spot on his back. However since he was born, I've always thought the tip of his nose looked blue/grey. But noone else seemed to think so - I wasn't able to capture it in a photo, it was only visible under certain lights, etc.

However over Christmas, all of a sudden various family members have commented on his "little blue nose." It's not immediately obvious (except when he's cold) but it's noticeable.

Considering how difficult it is to see a GP, it feels daft to see them over something minor (but I also wonder if it could be something else?) so should I just contact my health visitor to have it noted in the red book or push to see the GP in case it's something else?

Thanks everyone, I'll get in touch with the GP. I'm 95% sure it's a birth mark like the one he has on his back/bum.

More than likely nothing to worry about.
