      Yes! Just spoke to the nurse and she said given how long it took the wound to close up new scar tissue at this point would be normal. She also said that white nodule was most likely from a dissolvable stitch. At this point it doesn't hurt so I can just watch it.

      Thank you for the replies. I do feel something has changed. There is also a small white nodule that's developed I just noticed. Looks like a zit but it's not. Who knows. Going to call nurse today I think. I feel like Melanoma is so sneaky and grows so fast I have to worry about every little thing. Would be great to be free of the worry.
