If it worries you, it's always best to go see a GP and have them look at it. Odds are you will be sent home feeling a huge weight off your shoulders.

There is nothing wrong with having stuff like that checked out for precaution, that's what doctors are for.

Like emuirhead mentioned above, if you are totally and completely worried, then you can always refer to the GP, you can go, have a chat, GP does what they have to do to check your problem out and you walk out of the Docs feeling more reassured and less worried than you did.

Also, can I add that the worst thing you can do is google symptoms. Google is not qualified, instead Google brings up a whole load of crap (usually something frighteningly terminal or life threatening if you're googling health issues!!) and Google is extremely unprofessional by dragging up all this crap. So in conclusion, you're gunna end up misdiagnosed. If you consult a Doctor, you're chances of being misdiagnosed are extremely rare...what would I refer to? Definately a Doctor!!!!!

Google always feeds irrational thoughts and fears and always ends up in you panicing and worrying so much more.

With a Doctor, you can atleast be heavily reassured that it ain't serious! :)

Take care,

And if you go to the doctor every time you are just pandering to your HA. You know deep down that there is nothing wrong can you be stronger than your HA? :flowers::flowers::flowers:

Yes it should, so forget get about your bits:yesyes: (that's unless they are being used for other things).

My son is on his second degree he has one in computer science and now he is doing physics.


Good luck.:flowers:

PS if you still are looking at your skin you could go and see the nurse at the uni and let her look.
