FG's got one of those, too!!

Try hitting it with some hydrogen peroxide, or if you're a REAL man (:o )

some rubbing alcohol ought to do the trick.

Wait a minute, Six, I just thought of something. Don't mean to scare

you, but a sore that doesn't heal is one of the 7 warning signs of cancer.

If you've had this for an extended length of time, you might want

to think about having a dermatologist take a look at it, embarassing

location or no!!

Is this any way to talk about a fellow gardener?

Get a loofah and give your back a good old rub.

could you google - spot images & choose the one that looks most like it & post it on the thread?

It might be an insect bite, if it is get some antihisan for it from Boots.

it's a nuisance right in the centre of my back...I'm hesitant about joining this thread. Still, better safe than sorry.

It's something that worries a lot of people and quite reasonably so. Over half of US cancers are skin cancers, and it's not easy to even know they're there if they crop up on a less visible area.

There's an ABCD checklist regarding skin cancer as contrasted with normal "moles":

A for Assymetry - can you imagine a line through the middle and see that the two halves aren't mirror images of each other, or is it a regular geometric shape? (I think on the mirror test you're allowed inversion and rotation, but perhaps that's too pedantic an idea to mention).

B for Border - is the edge uneven, as opposed to smooth and un-notched?

C for Colour - is it made up of various shades of browns and blacks, as opposed to a single even shade?

D for Diameter - has it got bigger than 6mm across?My own opinion is that if I saw an area of skin changing I'd want it looked at by my GP sooner rather than later, and that after raising the issue here you really ought to do that. We'll worry indefinitely on your behalf otherwise.

the culprit was infact an Insect bite, i have now moisturized the problem and everything is ok, it was a rocky relationship, but now everthing is smooth:)

FG saves the day yet again :-6
This post grabbed my attention, Six, because in it are 5 "tags" of bikers I know. One of them being my very own tag!!

Totally off-subject, I know, but I had to comment on it....
