Firstly, I HAVE logged a request to have a GP appointment, but I think that I need to prove my leg has completely dropped off first, and I am concerned about being a time-waster - honestly, I love the NHS, but the triage system at GP surgeries seems designed to prevent securing an appointment. But maybe that's for the best with worriers like me around.
This is not the issue, though; it is whether I do need to advocate for myself or just let it lie and not be a burden. I am older, (50's) so maybe these lumps and bumps are just part of ageing.
Basically, I have had something that looks like a rice crispy on the side of my calf for a couple of years now. It is small and has not really grown much over time. But what it does do is crust over, and then bleed.
My melodramatic worry is skin cancer - we have lots in our family - pale Irish skin and all of us encouraged to try and get some colour in our youth..... So, while I wait for a response from the docs, and wonder whether I should push to be seen... I wondered whether other people think this looks concerning - should I be pushy or should I leave it?
