Asked By:Considerate222382 in England, United Kingdom

I have spoke with my doctor who has advised my skin concern is dermatofibroma however on his recommendation, he advised that I could search on google. However, i don't feel it looks even similar. I asked about getting removed and he advised he won't remove it and i shouldn't be concerned about it changing as the "myths" about having ginger hair and pale skin aren't real.
