Freckle scabbing and disappearing

Hi all.

I've noticed recently a few freckles in on my arms are scabbing over and then disappearing leaving a scar, should I get this checked out? Also one of the ones on my arm has shrunk leaving a white mark in it's place 

  • Hello and thanks for your post,

    We are unable to dagnose anyone on the forum and if you have concerns about changes in your skin then do make an appointment to see a GP. They may ask you to send them a picture and so they can give their opinion. It can be helpful to photograph your skin as well so you can keep a record of any changes. It doesn't sound like anything too serious but if you do have concerns then it is best to get it checked.

    GP's have guidelines when looking at skin conditions. We have some information about different types of skin cancer which you can see here

    You may find that you have quite sensitive skin so do protect your skin particularly when the weather starts warming up. Have a look at how you can help look after your skin here

    I hope this helps.

    All the Best,

    Catherine
