I've got a spot on my head, awkward place to see even with a mirror. Only small, irregular shape kind of oval. Dry, crusty slightly sore. Been there maybe 4 weeks or so. Don't want to look stupid going Dr to be told it's just a spot!
Hello TrixieH and thanks for posting on the forum,
It is always a good idea when spots don't appear to be healing or going away on there own to get checked out by your GP. That is what your GP is there for.
GP's have guidelines when they are looking at lesions and if they are unsure about what they are looking at they will refer you to a dermatologist.
Your GP is in a better position to examine it, as you said yourself that it is in an awkward place.
Never feel that you are stupid going to see the doctor. They may say that it is just a spot but that will be reassuring for you to hear.
