      Thanks for your reply. I am thinking it is inflamation. I have hidradenitis, but the site of my hidradenitis is my armpits and groin. I do have a few moles over 5mm and they correlate to some of the areas.  But the mole on my mid thigh that relates to the area on the PET scan is only 2mm. I will just wait for my dermatologist appointment and stay away from Dr. Google!
