        Hi – I've had 2 primaries – both nodular.  The first was on my shoulder and invasive — amelanotic (just flesh colored – I'm lucky to have found it), raised and seemed to develop overnight.  The second was discovered 3 months later when I was "shopping" for a mel specialist.  It was a pigmented mole on my back, and was shallower than the first mel.  Since then my problematic moles have been on both legs, but were categorized as merely atypical.  I hope this helps.
