      I had a 1b melanoma, negative SLNB in Oct. 2015 and a severe atypical mole removed Oct. 2016 with a punch biopsy and clear margins. The punch biopsy  site is still itching 4 months later. Should I be worried that something new is popping up? I am now on 6 month check ups, due to be seen In April. 

      Thanks, Barb

          Always ok to ask your doc, but even a punch biopsy can take time to heal.  I had a WLE for an atypical lesion bother me for at least 3 years.

              True, my WLE from a year ago still hurts at times and is a bit numb. Same thing for my SLNB site. It is the itchiness that has me worried  

              Thanks!
