      Hi Julie,
      Firstly, I just want to thank you for taking the time to reply to me, given everything that you’re going through. I’ve been lurking in the background of this site since my surgery in September but never found the guts to post anything. (Denial maybe?) and yours is one of the stories I’ve followed the most. You are a warrior!! In the truest sense of the word!

      I am getting this checked out at my next derm appointment, my concern with that is that I had an excellent derm before but she has since left-and her replacement is of the ‘youre a hypochondriac’ variety. I love the NHS, I do, but the downside is we can’t just go searching for a derm. Everything here is referral only.
      I also have a lump on my forearm near my elbow, but because it’s not hard and it’s kind of flat, my GP isn’t remotely concerned about it.

      Love and light to you
      Sarah

      Thanks for the replies, I’m next seeing my derm in mid July, I have a drs appt this week but I doubt she can tell me much, or move my derm appt forward. Can I ask about the granuloma, do they appear on the scar line or can they appear next to it? This is completely on the skin graft (the skin was taken from the underside of my upper arm, so this also rules out ingrown hair) it’s next to the scar but not on it at all.
      And thank you again for taking the time to reply, I know you’re all going through your own worries, for far longer than me
      Sarah
