      Hello,

      I discovered this about a year ago (maybe more) on the inside of my leg/outter knee and I've since become considered since it hasn't gone away or seemingly changed. Does it look like a melanoma?

      Thank you.

              No one on this page is going to tell you whether a picture is melanoma or not.  The *only* way to tell is to go get it looked at and biopsied.  That's really the only way you are going to have any peace.
              (That being said, it doesn't look like any melanoma I've seen.)

                  Thank you. You're right. I'm just scared. It runs in my family. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
