[Skin Concerns] At what point do you guys decide to go to the doctor about skin issues? I don't about y'all but the doctors in my town make me feel like a waste of space, so I try to spread my visits out. It's hard to gauge what's normal and what's not.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I had a lot of health issues crop up last year, and I went to a few different doctors around 10 times in the whole year. Now I get the impression they think I'm a hypochondriac or something, as every time I see them it's a new issue, (but it's not my imagination). My town is in Canada, so wait times are awful, and sometimes it feels like if you're not spurting out blood then why are you wasting our time? (Don't get me wrong, I love our healthcare, but you're dealing with a lot of overworked medical practitioners who deal with plenty of hyper-reactive people).I had the sunburn to end all sunburns a few years ago, on shoulders that hadn't seen sunlight in years. For months afterwards the skin in those areas were almost rippled. Now I'm just left with some freckles and this raised patch of skin, about the size of a grain of rice. It's hard to capture from the camera, but it looks much bigger and is scored with four squares. Normally with skin issues I live and let live. But this one's kind of weird. I'm not sure if it's damage from the burn, or something worth checking out.Anyway, I'll probably just suck it up and ask the doctor for a referral to the dermatologist, but I have to wonder how many of you guys are in the same boat? Concerned about something, but wondering if it's important enough to deal with condescending and overworked medical practitioners. It's important to be your own advocate, but people here get a lot of flak for 'abusing' medical services.
