Hello and thank you for your post,
I am afraid to say that getting tests and investigation results is taking longer across the whole of the UK. This is because of how the pandemic has affected NHS services. You hopefully will not have to wait too much longer now but I am sorry I cannot say when this will be. It might be possible to find out more about your result by contacting the dermatology department , but to be honest I am not sure if this will be possible or help.
I hope you hear soon and that you will be okay. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
Take care
Caroline
