Do I need to get this patch on my leg checked out?

I have this patch/bump on my leg (see photo attached) that's been there for probably a couple of years. It doesn't hurt at all.

It started out like a white head or chicken pox spot. I sort of feel it's not worth making a GP appointment for and I often forget about it. Does anyone have any idea what it is?Blush

Squeeze it!

I would get it looked at. If it started off small and has grown, that’s potentially a worry.

I would definitely go and see someone just to check... but to reassure I have something almost identical and have had for a number years. I have shown two GPs and a dermatologist and they have all said the same thing (and I can't remember the name) but something to do with having once had an insect bite and my body has encapsulated it or something to that effect... would still get it looked at though.

Thanks for your replies. I will make an appointment. That's reassuring lululate
