          Hi Anon,

          I have had many, many intransits and they have all presented as a small roundish hard bump that moved with the skin. Some of them came to the surface but they were never pink. If I pressed on them and blanched the skin, usually I could see a dark-ish something underneath. The only one that hurt was big and impinged on a nerve. Aside from this, they didn’t hurt at all.

          Hope this helps and your husband’s funk is nothing.

          Shalom,
          Julie

            I had something very similar on my neck which was near my original site. I was really worried. But my melanoma specialist looked at and said he thought it was a fat deposit and the next week it was fine.

              I have had them twice. The second time around we did TVEC injections and BAM, they are gone. Mine we bumps under the skin, not any color and did not move.
