Hi all,
I am looking for information on how to access services at the IOD. I had a new lesion appear on my nose about 1 year ago. I got it assessed at Boots Chemist in the UK (Screen Cancer UK) and received the following diagnosis:
Test: Molescan-1
Result: Other skin lesion to follow up
Comment: R nose. This lesion has a benign appearance on dermoscopy, but it is not possible to give a definite diagnosis. It is probably something called a fibrous papule. I would consider removal for a biopsy to clarify. Suggest GP referral to dermatology for further assessment.
I work in the UK offshore on a 2 on, 3 off rota, and have booked all my flights to Thailand for the next 5 months so it will be a hassle for me to get it looked at in the UK. I live in Roi Et and have to travel through Bangkok anyway, so i thought getting it looked at by the Institute of Dermatology would be the best solution (especially as the ever helpful Sheryl has recommended them on a previous post).
So my question is, how do I go about it?
Turn up at 6am and join a queue?
Go later in the day?
Book an appointment some how?
Any advice from anyone with experience of using the service would be greatly appreciated 🙏
