strange patch of skin,

[familyfun]

about 4 weeks ago i felt a rough patch on my back below my brastrap, asked dp to look and he said it was a dark circle rough and looked like a graze.
forgot about it till last night when i felt it again and dp said its not a graze but a circle of dark rough skin.

bit worried as it wasnt there before

It could be Seborrheic keratosis - don't worry it's not serious despite the long name! They tend to be associated with getting older - I've had one patch since I was in my thirties, so it not being there before is normal for this condition. If you do a google image search on "Seborrheic keratosis" there are loads of pictures, have a look and see if it matches (they can be quite varied in appearance).

Its likely nothing untoward but I would go to GP and ask for a referral to a dermatologist. I developed a skin condition and the GP had no clue what it was but the dermatologist knew straight away.

will try and get to docs but got kids with chicken pox so dont want to go and pass it round surgery, hopefully not contagious soon and i can go.

Your kids have chicken pox? Maybe you've got shingles?

its just one small patch size of 50p, couldnt be shingles could it? it doesnt hurt

It's unlikely to be shingles, too high up. Also, one patch that you've hadfor a while - it would either have increasedwithin days, or you'd be over it by now.
