amelanotic Melanoama or morpheaform BCC from DNS mild removal??

Comparing your scar to pictures on the internet is unlikely to be of much help.  Truthfully.  It IS most likely scar tissue.  It's possible that it is just a keloid scar.   I'd say it is highly unlikely to be either cancer you mention.  But here's the deal…. YOU are the one paying the bills.  If you want it biopsied, then tell the doctor.  If he won't, ask him to guarantee that it isn't anything in writing.  Somehow, that seems to spur doctors to possible do a biopsy.  If your derm won't do it, sometimes a primary care doc will.  You might consider going to a plastic surgeon to have the scar "revised" and have the area sent to pathology at the same time. 

Best wishes,

I would say that since this is concerning you, you should seek a second opinion..and have it removed. Something I always try to think  about is " will this be a decision I can live with if…" So, in this case, I just would want to be sure. I spotted my amelanotic melanoma early early on… it was growing right next to a freckle, and I asked one of my nurse friends if it looked at all unusual. Went with her assesment of it and never had it checked until years later when it had grown. My two cents worth. Most times these things turn out to be nothing…
