Hi, New here, I have a suspected subungual melanoma under my left big toenail and wondered if anyone else has experienced this?
Awaiting biopsy.
Bit scared.
Hi Florence53 and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to read that you're waiting for a biopsy to find out if you have a subungual melanoma under your big toenail. Although I didn't have this type of melanoma I do understand how scared you're probably feeling.
Subungual melanoma is very rare and I'm hoping that your biopsy comes back negative for melanoma. I've had a search in the group for other posts about this type of melanoma and found these. You could have a read through them and reply to any of the posters who you think might be able to help you further.
Do you have a date for your biopsy yet?
