. Definitely not nodules or papula. If there was one of them, I would probably not even notice, but they appeared all at a time and I'm just freaking out it's skin met….

i am now 8 weeks post partum, Like couple of weeks ago I noticed what looked like a rash on my hand – several lightly pigmented spots, but when I look at it now, it looks more like lightly pigmented, oddly shaped moles. There are five of them, not elevated, and I do not have it anywhere else on my body.

Hi everyone, I'm freaking out and came for reassurence – I'm stage 1a melanoma patient, diagnosed in Nov 2015. Low risk lesion, o.4, no ulceration / invasion, mitotic rate less than one, clear margins. Had my wide excision and scans – came back clear.

Hi Julie, thanks a lot for your reply! I managed to get an appointment at my dermatologist's and thanks got the spots are nothing serious – they are tiny hyperpigmentations of miniature scars, probably caused by razor. Actually, at the beginning, I thought I cut myself while shaving my hands in the shower, but then the spots got darker…

And you're absolutely right – it's even darker not to freak out when the baby is here…

That is exactly how I feel it. I know there is no guarantee with this diagnosis, but exactly as you stated, I do not need anyone who keeps on scaring me off and is actually in favour of the real, yet far less probable bad outcome…

Just for your interest, he said to make the ultrasound and x-rays are done also in melanoma-in-situ patients, as "nothing is granted for them either"…I though T0 is basically 100% cured by excision…?

Thank you again, Janner, I'm feeling a lot better today and cannot appreciate your replies enough…

Thanks so much, Janner, I get the point. 

He told me he saw "many" stage 1A patient showing mets on these initial scans, and that it is better to "diagnose it right now than to wait for swollen lymph nodes"… And as much as I know it can happen, I desperately need a doctor who will state the facts but will remain positive (when there is a reason to be, of course). Or perhaps I'm just having too hard times accepting the reality?

One positive thing: the WLE is hurting much less I expected it to be (so far), but let's see if I'm gonna be able to sleep 🙂 (It's 9:30 pm here…)

They wanted to ultrasound abdomen and lymph nodes. No plan to do SNB which does not make any sense to me either…so I was kinda surprised he said to me that we should not do the WLE toda, if we postpone the ultrasound and x-ray from January 14 to February 10 (let's say). I just do not get it and I honestly think it was slightly personal, because I keep on asking all the questions. 

That just added to my decision to change him, as I simply do not trust him absolutely… I hope I am not doing any mistake.

The oncologist I am trying to get to told me he sees no reason to undergo ultrasound and x-ray, and that I should relax after the WLE and find a new derm. And that is what I am probably gonna do… Am i crazy? 🙁

and thanks again for your support… I am really upset today as it would be a lot easier if I had a doctor I could rely on from the very beginning…
