    Hello Halfincher, 

    Welcome to our forum! Unfortunately no none here will be able to tell you what this is and you're right Dr Google is famously unreliable and will only make you more worried. The best thing to do really is to give your doctor a call. They will be in the best position to advise you on this. 

    I hope you manage to talk to your GP soon. 

    Best wishes,
