Hi need some advice I have had a brown pinkish mark appear on my arm I have had it 4 weeks now I finally plucked up the courage to contact the surgery today I had a nurse call me I explained situation and sent photos to her she has given me a prescription for some cream, she was talking about skin cancer and asked if anyone in family have had it I am booked in to see her in a weeks time to discuss things I am really worried. 

  • It's always a tad scary when unexplained symptoms appear but well done for getting in touch with your GP about this Mattlock as they're best placed to investigate and let you know what this could be.

    I'm sure some of our members who have been in a similar situation will offer their support and advice to you soon but in the meantime, I hope the cream is effective and all goes well at your next appointment.

    Kind regards,
