    Hi PrimnOlive,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    I am not a doctor, but I suspect that the only reason that your GP wouldn't refer you to a dermatologis,t is if s/he feels that this is a fungal infection, or something similar. I am glad that you are seeing your GP tomorrow and hope that there is a simple explanation.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,
