[quote=Anonymous]I've had invasive melanoma (plus severe and moderate dysplastic moles) so I totally understand your anxiety. It might make you feel better to know that, if I were you, I wouldn't be overly concerned. Mine had been itchy for years and even bled a year before it was identified/removed - even though it was invasive, I am totally in the clear now. It's actually all fine when caught early, which it sounds like you have. If you didn't have itching or bleeding, I think you will be fine even if it is melanoma. I now see a melanoma specialist at INOVA Fairfax. I think regular derms get a bit excited about suspicious moles. I would go see a skin cancer specialist from now on, if I were you. Also, the waiting for biopsy results is the worst part. You just have to try and keep yourself occupied. Good luck.[/quote]
