So I had a red patch on my leg . Along with a few small other ones but they look different to the big one on my leg . I saw two different doctors, one said it's fine nothing to worry about . Other dr said nothing to worry about but wants to do the camera scope thing . Which has worried me !! I assumed was fine so cancelled that app with the camera as she said it's fine nothing to worry about , then the day after I wanted a 2nd opinion . But Iv rang today to do the camera thing as I'm scared now . Pics attached , please has anyone had anything similar !? I'm so scared and convinced I have skin cancer . They don't itch or get bigger

Looks more like folliculitis to me (v common and harmless), the spots seem to coincide with the hair follicles where you’ve shaved:

Please try not to worry, it’s good you’re getting it checked but it doesn’t sound like it’s presenting with typical skin cancer symptoms x
