Not all practices have access to a dermoscopy. When i had a dodgy thing on my leg, they took a pic and sent it to the dermatologist for them to decide whether it warranted further investigation. Dermatologists have insane backlogs since covid and i think the main issue was gps over referring people for anything and everything, Now, at least here in Scotland they have to send pics for the specialist to decide. I got seen and mine turned out to be a small blood vessel that had burst through the skin. But i was still seen as it was a hard nodule and looked every bit like some nodular melanomas do.
