  • Hi Sheilaor and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry to hear about the lesion on your leg and that you're still worried that it could be melanoma.

    I'm not sure from your post how long ago you spoke with dermatology, but they are experts in this field and they wouldn't have said what they did if they didn't believe that to be the case. 

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar situation will offer their thoughts and advice to you soon but in the meantime, if you have noticed any changes where the lesion was or feel something still isn't quite right then it may be worth speaking to your GP again, if only for peace of mind.

    We're sending you all our support Sheilaor and hope you're able to get some reassurance and much needed peace of mind over this soon.

    Kind regards,
