For over a year , had a red mark , what looked like a birth mark on my neck , not irritating , not suspicious, with from time to time some 'spots' /bumps that would come and go. Thought it was just maybe a skin irritation but it was just not going away, and kept shape and colour shifting and changing. Saw GP (Practice Nurse) about 14 days ago who said it was 'nothing to worry about' , and that it was 'Keratosis'. A new, pearl like bump appeared and that is when I started Googling !! Did not look good, so arranged a second GP appointment using virtual Doctor/GP service via work health care plan. After showing him photos, within 5 minutes he said I needed a referrral to a Dermatologist. Managed to get an appointment with Nuffield within a week, and this morning diagnosed with suspected BCC, and had surgery. I am sitting here with a coffee afterwards. Wanted to share my story so far. Stitches come out in one week and test results in two weeks to confirm diagnosis and prognosis.
