      It has been here for a few months, but I am incredibly worried that it is melanoma. I can’t get over the anxiety someone please help! Does it look like melanoma at all?

          No one can diagnose from a picture.  Melanoma typically shows up as a long streak but there is no "rule" for melanoma.  The real key – has it moved at all?  Is it growing out with the nail or staying in place?  No matter what, instead of worrying about this, see a doc!

            Pls do not see a regular dermatologist, visit the oncological one. It is a good idea to have yourself checked once a year anyway.
