Brief Answer:
A couple of other possibilities

It's not very clear. If it comes and goes in a couple of days. it can be an urticaria which is an allergic reaction.
If it persists, it's likely to be an infection , fungal like tinea versicolor or a bacterial infection.

htankyou again, i did ring one up earlier but they said i need to be referred is that something you would be able to do ??
Brief Answer:
Welcome
Detailed Answer:
The procedure varies from country to country. In your country probably you require to be referred by your local GP. This is often not the case in private practice.
If the system accepts referral by a doctor in another country, I will be happy to.
