Hi I'm new to the forum. I had surgery Monday to remove a possible melanoma and I am waiting for the results. I have had the thing on my back for well over 15 years I didn't give it any thought or have been worried about it. For some reason I asked my wife to take a photo of it I didn't like the look of it and then I spent a bit of time to search up on doctor Google and ended up worried sick . Then after a few more days I ended up going to the doctors. 3 weeks later I have had it cut out. It was about the size of a thumb nail but not raised just looked like a birthmark but It was several colours and a funny shape with blurred edges but no broken skin. I asked the surgeon what he thought about it he said it looked a bit nasty and it needed to be removed I have been trying to keep busy with work but I am now waiting for the result from the surgery.
Just reaching out to wish the very best for your results. I had Malignant Melanoma on my leg 4 years ago, aged 42 at the time, and also had a Basel cell on my chest this year.
As already mentioned the wait is definitely the hardest part. Hopefully it is something that is benign, but if it is something a bit more serious please be assured that there are plenty of us here willing to chat and share anything that may help.
The very best of wishes to you
