Scab on back

Just noticed this two weeks ago - slightly raised, oval, like a mole but a little crusty like a scab. Very small, about the size of a little fingernail. No change in the two weeks. It’s not an area where my bra or clothing rubs but it is on my upper back which is exposed to the sun when I swim outdoors (year round). Worth a GP visit?

Definitely. Better safe than sorry

Probably sebhorreic keratosis - quite harmless, and one of the joys of ageing!

Thanks ....I’ll let you know!

Ok just googled. Yes that looks likely, especially the waxy description.
