September 2021 - Case of the Month
A 24-year-old woman presented with a several year history of evolving 'lumps' especially on the central chest. The lady had mild facial acne and was otherwise well.
Good afternoon to all.
Many apologies, but for the first time since I have been writing the Case of the Month there is no dermatology case for June. The reason is that I have been working hard to complete the documents for the National Accreditation of General Practitioners with an Extended Role in Dermatology and Skin Surgery. I am pleased to report that the process is now live on the RCGP website.
The dermatology cases will be back on track next month, in the meantime (and as you can see by this month's image), I have been able to keep upto date with dermoscopy cases, and all interested in dermoscopy and skin lesions can use this link to go to my dermoscopy cases.
Best wishes
Dr Tim Cunliffe
