Having A Red Spot With White Center On Forearm. Do I Need To See Someone?

I seem to have a spot on my forearm that I thought was just a bruise. In looking at it this morning, and its a dark red color, about 2 inches in diameter with a small white center. The center is not raised really, and it dies not itch, nor is it tender.

Just wondering if I should see someone. I took an antihistamine this AM to see if it might help.

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

If you are not presently experiencing any discomfort related to the lesions or any other significant symptoms, then you can consider waiting 24 to 48 hours to see if it resolves.

If during this time period, it worsens or other significant lesions develop then you may want to consider visiting your doctor sooner than this.

I hope this helps
