Bio

I found a unusual mole/leision in 2017 this were taken as a biopsy this came back as Melanoma Stage 1b. From that I had a wider excision was done earlier this year 2mm were taken and this showed malignant cells and that the Melanoma had spread into surrounding skin. They regarded stage 3b Melanoma but were were 1mm clear margins so no further surgery was needed. I then had CT & MRI scans that came back clear. So was put on 3 monthly follow ups and 6 monthly scans. I have now noticed 2 dark spots in the scarring tissue that wasn’t, there before should I be worried?
