      Stage 3b amelanotic , mitosis 18. 2 yrs NED. Just got call from original derm that I hadn't been coming in for skin checks?! Really two years it took them to realize this but that isn't my question. I had growth on chest that was cracking open and bleeding, derm said it was just a nuisance spot and froze it. This is the same derm that said my melanoma was basal cell. Should I have let her freeze it or did I just make a big mistake

          I think you made a mistake. I wouldn't let a dr near me that misdiagnosed me the first time.  Secondly if you are prior melanoma and something funky comes up on your skin it should be biopsied no question about it.

                I have had things frozen off that I am certain are not melanoma.  You've already done this so second guessing is pointless.  If it goes away after things heal, great.  If it comes back, have it biopsied.
