Did you ever get this resolved? I seem to be having the same issue. I can’t even find a place to check my messages.

I’m wondering if you could share with me why a shave biopsy was a bad idea? I’m asking because I am going to be seeing the dermatologist soon for a suspicious area. I’m no stranger to shaves and punches, but, so far nothing has been malignant. However, this spot is completely different than any I’ve had looked at before.

Idk if we can share pictures here or not since I’m new, but my PCM told me it definitely looks like it should be checked by a dermatologist and could certainly be squamous cell or basal cell. But, the strange thing is that it developed very quickly and those two are generally not rapid-growth carcinomas.

That’s when I found info about amelanotic melanomas. Since this lesion started from a lentigo that I’ve had for a few years but morphed over the course of about two weeks into a pink, raised lesion with irregular borders. And, it itched the entire time. It still itches. Hydrocortisone cream helps for a bit, but hasn’t made it any smaller.

Any info you’re willing to share will be greatly appreciated!
