    Hi guys, I’ve made an appointment with a GP next week but in the mean time thought I’d ask for some advice here.

    Can melanoma reappear as a pinky/reddish/light purple irregular lesion growing outward from the original WLE site? I’m 99% sure it isn’t a bruise.

    My original was in 2009, between my ankle and heel, 0.7depth and Clarke IV.

    Hopefully I can figure out how to add a photo as it’s abit odd

    Thanks guys x

      Hi Courtney
      Mine was pink almost like a spot. My GP thought nothing to be worried about . Went 7 times with it and was melanoma. So get checked hun.
