        what I mean by accuracy is the chance of false negatives.

              May I ask what stage (or how long into) your melanoma was when treated?

                    My results came back benign (aka nothing).

                    I am glad I had it done though because it was scary at the time, and all the other health stuff I went through. I think it was about 6 months later to my surprise my entire nail had grown out perfectly normal despite that huge hole they put in it. I took extremely good care of it though. Left it banadged for days at a time. The nerves in my thumb hurt on and off for months but I think they are slowly back to normal too. I can still feel the pain if I think about it. I also still have a very very tiny dark line that grows out along the side of where it was. I guess once again, we have no true answers. Another medical mystery that someday doctors might actually figure out and have a real answer for us.

                     

                    All the best!

                          Thank you for the responses.

                          After over 2 weeks it is starting to feel faintly sore and a slight bump hardness under the skin just back from the cuticle. It feels like it is getting bigger back that direction as well.

                          I do not remember at all doing anything to my thumb that would have hurt it. I am especially careful these days due to psoriasis stuff I overcame last year that is still showing up on some fingers.
