Yea could you post your pictures? I also have a picture of mine although it is not that clear. From what I have read online if the lesion is flat it means it is in the horizontal growth phase and not invaded deeper beneath the skin so that is giving me hope even if it does turn out to be melanoma it will be in the early stage and curable. I only found out about mine about a week ago and fortunately was able to get an appointment to get it removed just 2 days after. I can't remember when it appeared though, I remember checking back of my body a month or two ago and not seeing the lesion but can't be sure because it was located on the back of my thigh and it is hard to look there. I am worried that it may have been there for years and I never noticed it because of the location.
The doctor said I will hear back from them on monday so not much longer now
