Blemish, scratch almost scab on head for a long time.

Posted , 2 users are following.

imageimageI have a blemish (not sure how to describe it) but almost as if I have hit my head on something sharp. It is quite small but has been there for at least a few months and doesn't seem to be healing at all. It is actually painful if touched. Anyone know if this is worth bothering a GP about?

    if it has been there for more than a month, then definitely get a doctor to look at it - preferably a dermatologist. Any small wound that doesn't heal completely in a month should be looked at.

      Thanks for the advice 😃 I can't book an appointment until Monday morning and even then it would have to be an emergency one. I will ring then.
