Melanoma wle scar

Hello all

I have posted this once and it's vanished so apologies if I'm repeating myself! 
 

I had my wle for a stage 1 menlanoma at the beginning of October. I have recently started having a slight burning/tingling sensation in the same area. 
It isn't too dissimilar to the sensations I had with the melanoma so I'm wondering could that return this quickly or could it just be the scar still healing? A midwife friend thinks it should be healed by now. 
I am due my first quarterly check up anytime now but haven't been contacted for this as yet and I don't want to contact them unnecessarily when they are so busy. So I'm wondering if anyone else has had these same sensations a few months post surgery?

TIA

  • Hi,

    There is more chance it's the nerves that they cut knitting back together - this can last many months. If you are awaiting a check up appointment, ring your CNS and ask them when you will be getting seen as you are worried about the sensation. Hopefully you won't be waiting too long.
