Hi there,

I'm not sure if I'm just being silly here, so i thought id post and see if my skin looks abnormal and worth seeing a Dr or if I'm just being paranoid.

I recently lost my aunty to cancer so it is definitely on my mind. I've also had swollen lymph nodes behind my ears and in my neck for 6 weeks which isn't helping. I might just be being silly.

I noticed some red patches and some dimpled / patchy skin. Please let me know what you think

Thanks

 

  • Welcome to the forum S1002956 although I'm sorry for the reason you're joining us.

    If you're worried, it would be best to get this checked by a GP as they are the only ones who can let you know if this is any cause for concern. 

    When you speak to the doctor, it can be difficult to remember everything you want to say and to remember everything they say, but hopefully these tips will help you get the most out of your appointment.

    Kind regards,
