Recurrent melanoma

Offline LnoelleD over 4 years ago

Hey,

Has anyone had recurrent melanoma a few months after surgery? And if so what did it look like?

I have three small lumps in my scar and I'm not sure if it's scar tissue or recurrence.
Thanks in advance :)

Hi,
I haven't but I know two patients who have had a small lump appear in their scars - one was a recurrence whilst the other's was scar tissue so you can't really know. Please contact your team to get it checked out and hopefully it will be scar tissue.
