Would you be concerned about this shiny mark on an arm?
It's about 1cm in diameter - doesn't hurt or itch.

Flipping phone! It's deleted my first sentence which said: oooooh I have some like that!

Good idea to get checked just in case. Please do come back and let me know what it is if they can put a name to it. 😊

I'd get it checked to be on the safe side but it looks like an age spot to my untrained eye

I have something very similar.
Went to the GP last year who said it was actinic keratosis- nothing to worry about but GP advised me to avoid the sun, and always use F50 sunblock / cover up in the sun.

Apparently they are extremely common, especially after 40.

Do let us know how you get on at the doctors op.
