black spot on upper back

Posted , 4 users are following.

these are pics of a black spot I have just found on my upper back

I am a little bit worried about it as I;ve never had anything like this before

However, I have just had an outbreak of hives and I'm wondering if possibly this is just an old hive that is fading?!

Has anyone seen anything like this before?

I will be going to my GP to get it checked anyway

    I don't think hives leave black marks

    I'm glad you will see a doctor

    But you may also have to see a skin cancer specialist too

    I can't tell, either

    The pictures are rather blurry so it's difficult to say. But I do recommend you see a dermatologist for any kind of skin irregularities. Of course if you have an appointment already with a GP I'm sure the GP will be able to tell you if it's something to be concerned about and then refer you to a dermatologist.

    its really hard to say as the photo's are not very good.

    GP is always the best first stop, as you said.

    I just saw the mark

    It almost looks like a weird bug bite or something

    I would definitely get it checked out

    I hope you are okay
