I have a few of those too. One of them, on my chest, was quite big and daughter made me go to the practise nurse who removed it herself. Painless.
This was over 20 years ago.

I've got some of these on my back. It is wise to get them checked but as long as the nurse of doctor is not concerned about them, it's probably best to ignore them. I also have one just below my eye. One of the joys of ageing!

It would be very unprofessional if your GP laughed at you and I don’t think the practice nurse was at all professional either. I work as a nurse in a GP surgery and if I’d seen you I would have advised you to see the GP. You don’t know what it is or what is causing it. Make an appointment but not with a beauty therapist until you know what it is.

I have several of these brown rough areas. i asked the practice nurse if the doctor would remove them for me, she said the doctor would just laugh at me .

Now I have a small one just below my eye and I'd like it removed before it gets any bigger. Should I ask the GP, or try to get it done by some beauty therapist?
