Strange lump pic included

So I have a lump for a while now which I thought was a skin tag but it has changed and become raised red and itchy. And before anyone attacked me I have an appointment with the gp next week but I'm wondering if nine has had one like it before and what it turned out to be.

you need to see a gp about this asap for a biopsy.

@fallfallfall my friend has just been diagnosed with skin cancer which made me think of this.
I have something similar on my forehead which is why I've made an appointment with my gp.
Getting past the receptionist is like trying to get past a rottweiler

use the c word and simply say you need a biopsy. that way they can book the right room/equipment and time.

My daughter had the almost identical or at least something very similar on her foot and it was a Verruca , Wart ( infected).
She got it treated with the freezing treatment ( Cryotherapy) and it wasn’t a quick process but it works.

Good luck at your GP appointment and fingers crossed you will be fine .
