I have had two stage 1 melanomas, and dozens of squamous cell carcinomas removed from my poor skin. I have literally hundreds of moles. Periodically, I have the "boil" thing you talk about come and go in various places. My husband always freaks out and wants me to run instantly to the dermo, but I have learned from this board to take a photo and put it on my calendar to look at it again in six weeks. Almost always, the thing goes away without so much as an explanation of itself. Those that persist are biopsied–always negative. Melanoma doesn't present like that on me.
The dermo also gave me an ointment to put on little things that are slow to heal, and it helps to heal them right up with consistent application.
Be persistent with your observations and stay vigilant, but calm.
Love,
Liz.
