Forehead mole?

hello everyone!

this is my first post.

ive been trying to get an appointment at my local Doctors for over a month now. but due to covid im finding it hard.

for the last 5-6 years ive had this mole like skin coloured spot on my forehead. I suffer with bad anxiety over my health and body and this has always made me feel self conscious . It may not be a big deal to anyone else and it probably seems like a small issue but to me and my self esteem its the first thing i see in the mirror and photos.

over the last week it has gone quite hard and sore. No extreme pain just little sore to touch. Has anyone else had this? Im having a battle with myself deciding if this should be a "emergency" to see the doctor but im probably overthinking it. I will continue to try and get an appointment but in the mean time try and find others with the same thing.

thanks for reading 😃image

    It looks like a cyst that has probably been filling up slowly over the years. It has now reached its limit and the cyst is full, thats why its hard. it may even be infected, thats why it feels sore.

    I dont think its an emergency . Try putting a flannel soaked in water as hot as possible on to it...it may help to release it. If it just gets bigger and more sore, try to see your doctor who I am sure will sort it out quickly.
