Hi there,
My surgeon told me I was cured of my melonoma, originally diagnosed in November 2014… stage 1B – middle right side of my back… WLE and SNLB (came back negative). I've been going to my three month check ups and have had a few more biopsies that have came back negative.
Just this last week, my WLE scar has developed quite a lump and is super itchy. The scar is still a deep pink/purple and has always had a textured feeling. The color hasn't changed, but you can see the lump area has expanded the color, marble size.
Of course, I'm going to make an appt with my derm first thing on Monday – but I was just wondering about thoughts/ looking for support/ seeking experiences. I'm a very positive person and am banking on this just being scar tissue that may be inflammed. Has nyone here had a similar experience? What was your outcome?
Thanks for listening!
Jennifer

vould be a few things….i have had two of these
1 scar tissue….if it is round or hard i would think not scar tissue. mine was too round to be scar.
2 stitch underneath…i had this red inflamed…swollen
3 diseased node….if it is hard and round have it biopsied. my round node took me to stage 3 in 2013.
