Bio

Last year I found a Melanoma which was cut out and was diagnosed as stage 1b. I then had I wider excision which showed more cells but as they removed 2mm there was still a clear margin of 1mm so that made the diagnosis to stage 3b so I had CT and MRI scans which were clear so no extra treatment needed. However there are 3 dark spots that have appeared in the scarring tissue and I wondered if this means it is coming back.
