Ds has two strange red raised lumps on his arm - been there a few weeks, getting a bit bigger. What are they?

Warts? They are on the underside of his lower arms. About 5mm diameter I'd say - same as a pencil end in size, round, pinkish, no centre. They don't itch or hurt.

Any ideas what they are? Warts?

Mollescum?

There's no centre though - doesn't mollescum have that?

Hmm. I don't know without seeing them. You are better off going to the GP as it will just be guess work that you will get from here.

Ringworm?

might be molloscom - ds's started like that (have gone now). Ask your GP.

I might try the pharmacist first as getting an appointment at the GP is a right faff. Sounds like the sort of thing they'd know about?

No - what happens? Is it a horror movie
