Dermatology appt

Hi there! 

I just wanted a little advice and to see if anyone has ever had anything similar. I am 33 and have alot if moles and freckles (family thing) on my mums side my Grandad has had melanoma a number of times and my mum had had skin cancer countless times but not melanoma, squamous cell bacell cell etc. I have always had a small flat light coloured freckle on the under side of my ring finger, I noticed a couple of months ago it seemed to scab and go black. I went to docs after having it about 6 weeks, she took some pics one Friday and the sunday the hospital rang me to say they have booked me im for 10 days time (Thursday this week) .. anyway about a week a go it dropped off.. I rang the hospital to ask if I still need to go and they just said with the type of appt it is I should still go. I have noticed the past couple of days something is coming back in same spot just a reddish light brown colour at the moment. It never went back flat again even after dropping off, consistently been a tiny lump. I just wondered if anyone has had same? Just an odd place to have something. My appt is in a few days but I was relieved after it dropped off but now something is coming back x

  • Hi Summcld,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. Unfortunately I'm not able to offer much advice in terms of your question - although if anyone here has similar experience then hopefully they'll be along soon.

    It's good that you have the appointment and hopefully this will give you peace of mind.

    I see that the appointment is tomorrow, so I just wanted to wish you all the best for it.
