Is this worth a GP appointment?

I’ve got this freckle on my toe…no idea how long it’s been there. Part of me thinks it’s not worth the battle to get a GP appointment, but the other part thinks that’s silly? Not sure what to do about it.

If it's new yes I'd get it looked at.

Can you do an e-consult with that photo? And ideally a closer up one? If so that’s the way to go to get appt I think!

Thanks wandering - I’ve done that this morning. Just waiting for a GP call back (such a palaver). I can’t get a closer one - it just goes all blurry!

Just thought I'd provide an update in case someone comes along with a similar issue!

GP wasn't concerned at all. Just give sensible advice around keeping an eye on it, etc. I'm glad I went as it was the right thing to do, and its put my mind at ease.
