Skin Concern!
Hi all,
Around 3 weeks ago I noticed a small patch on my chest which I thought nothing of. As its been a few weeks and it hasn't subsided I decided to look it to what it might be and I'm slightly worried it could be a superficial basal cell carcinoma. I've sent pictures to my GP as they are not doing face to face consultations at the moment due to covid-19 and neither seemed particularly concerned but I wanted a second opinion.
It's around 1cm in length, itchy on occasions but its flat and painless. The GP suggested a Dermotofibroma but I'm sceptical.
I'm 27yr old male so I believe its rare in people of my age, but you can never be too sure.
I've attached a pic, any thoughts welcomed.
