I had a superficial malignant melanoma removed 8 years ago. Stage 1B. Clear SNB and margins. No lymph nodes involved. Went on to live my life as told to do. I was here 8 years ago and remember signing up to Janner's group for Stage 1 mel survivors.

This morning I woke up with a tiny raised mole on my neck. It is dome shaped, perfect dark color, shiny. Unbelieveable how quickly this happened. It was not there last night when I went to bed. Can this be a Nodular Melanoma? Can I have 2 separate melanomas? Is this possible, and has anyone ever heard of someone having 2 types of melanoma? I'll take any and all advice. Thank you!!!!!!!!

Yes, it is possible to have more than one melanoma primary. I've had 3. Yes, they can be different kinds as well although that is much rarer. In general, most people who have more than one have the same type. This doesn't mean your lesion is melanoma, but it is certainly worth having it checked out. Sorry you had to come back here!
