      Dear all,

      I also have some sort of suspicious bruise under my little toenail that looked a lot like subungal melanoma. I had it biopsied (the doctor basically just pulled out the nail) a couple of weeks ago and I am still waiting for the actual results but when I called the doctor's office they told me that everything was okay. I can still clearly see the bruise now on the raw toe…is that normal? Should I get another biopsy now done by a real oncologist/dermatologist? 

      Thank you for your help
