- The lump may look red. It may be more difficult to see on black or brown skin, but you should be able to feel it.

I recently contacted Forest Pharmacy just before closing time to request essential medication for my wife. We were on holiday, a long way from home, and I had forgotten to bring the medication with us. The pharmacist concerned, Mr Saini, and his wife went to great trouble out-of-hours to provide the medication needed and I am deeply grateful to them for their kindness and professionalism. It was exceptional service of the highest order!
