Finally got in with my dermatologist, which also specializes in plastic surgery, a blessing for me right now! I took pics from the last year and how my once ugly duckling of a freckle had changed so much, he took a quick look at my eyebrow, went through all the photos and said "ok we need to get a biopsy soon…like Friday"! I just remained calm and said ok! But I had question at this point….I wanted to know his opinion. I know they all have one initially. And without a seconds hesitation, he said "looks like amelanotic melanoma." I said that's aggressive isn't it? He didn't wanna answer that and I didn't push it. I simply told him that I was a big girl, and I could handle what ever came my way. I smiled and said I'll see ya Friday!
He comes highly recommended with 20plus years exp. so for now I have no choice but to trust his judgement. But honestly I didn't think a doctor would be so blunt just based on the few moments I was in there, blurring out this type of cancer without looking at it with any tool.
i am having punch biopsy, incisional not excisional, and really don't even understand the difference. I am trying to post pictures so please if anyone can see this and believes this is NOT. Cancer. Please let me know. Or if you have seen anything like this.
