Nodula melanoma

Hello my gp saw me yesterday and looked at a 4mm  lump on my bum.  She said it looks and feels like a cyst and there's pigmentation.  She told me to come back 2 weeks to see if grown.  But surely if its looks suspicious I can't wair 2 weeks! Im.worried about nodula melanoma.

  • Hi Bear

    Im sorry to hear you are worried about the cyst on your bottom being Nodular Melanoma. Your GP will have seen many cases of cysts and melanomas if she says it both looks and feels like a cyst it very likely is. The follow up appointment in 2 weeks will confirm if it is a cyst if it has not grown. If it puts your mind at ease most nodular melanomas occur on exposed areas on the back of the neck and head rather than on places which get little sun exposure. Nurse Naomi has given you some good advice too. All the best.

  • Hello I spoke to another doctor today as I was so anxious waiting and she read out my notes they actually think its a small mole now but this has got me even more worried! Alhough I've asked do they suspect melanoma and they said no but they want to look at it again next week.
