Hi guys
I have a concern regarding a mole i did not get biopsied.
In October 2015 I noticed a new raised nodule on my inner thigh. Light brown and it did grow bigger (to ca. 6mm) over a few weeks and stopped growing at some point. It was flabby and soft, I played around with it a lot and “ripped” some of it off with my fingers. It also developed some darker areas all over the lesion.
I didn’t worry since I didn’t know anything about NM. Then I found an article about it and eventually had it checked by a Dermatologist 2 months later. He shaved it of but we didn’t do a biopsy (stupid I know). Although he was a little worried about the dark spots, he said it was nothing.
Well now I really regret not getting a pathology report. My questions is, what can I do? I visited a 2nd Derm and she said there is nothing to do. She said the dark spots are probably dead blood vessels since I ripped a part of the lesion off. I visited a 3rd Derm who says its mostly SK.
I showed them pics and they both said it didn’t look cancerous but I know they cant be certain with NM.
I really need to do something so I can move on. Can I get a skin biopsy? Lymph node biopsy? PET Scan or anything? I need to do something, i cant just wait until its stage V!
Your response would be much appreciated. Pics of the lesion below.
