I have had multiple lesions on both of my forearms for a few months and it was making me anxious as nobody could tell me what they were. Thankfully I was offered the procedure to remove one and have it tested to give me some reassurance.

Do you have a similar story to tell?

Dear IJS53,
My name is Mary Crichton and I'm the Senior Charge Nurse for the Dermatology OPD in Ninewells.
Although I'm not sure if you had this procedure done in Ninewells or not, I want to say thank you for providing this feedback for Dermatology.
I'm really glad to hear that you were offered the procedure to remove one of these lesions for testing, taking that step can bring a lot of peace of mind. Hopefully, the results will provide the clarity and reassurance you've been needing.
I will be sure to share this feedback with the wider team.
Kind Regards
Mary
