I noticed a new mark on my skin a week or so ago and thought it might just go away but it's still there. It's slightly raised and just worried it might be something. I get anxiety going to the doctor. What do you think?

Can’t see a pic, but could you ask a pharmacist?

I hadn't thought of that. Thank you.

I had one come up on my arm. Turned out to be a wart! Doctor prescribed cream but I didn't bother and it went after a few weeks anyway. Not saying it's a wart but mine looked similar. I'd say ask pharmacy.

That's good to hear, thank you. I'll try asking at the pharmacy.

H45 cream for a week. Then go to GP if no improvement.

I wouldn’t. Certainly not after only a week or so.
