Hello
I had a WLE on my leg 7 months ago and the skin and muscle nearby seems to be getting tighter as time goes on. I wouldn't say it's painful but I definitely get sensations multiple times a day now and weekly nerve tingles.
Wondered if anyone else has experienced similar.
Also it has been so nice to read through forum posts around responding to 'just skin cancer' comments. I have really struggled with how much this can be played be down, more often than not to try and comfort me. I get comfort that I'm not alone in this.
Hi Magpie77 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
My WLE was on my arm but I didn't get the feeling of tightness that you're experiencing. Have you spoken to your SCNS about this?
Oh I don't have one, I think I've seen my doctor for a total of 15 minutes over two appointments in the last year, my last mole mapping was done in November and with appointments being cancelled due to staff shortages my next appointment isn't until the end of August now
It could be that your hospital doesn't have the resources to provide a SCNS
