Subungual melanoma referral

Hi everyone,  I'm going to see the dermatologist on Friday after noticing what looked like a bruise down the side of my big toe nail 3 weeks ago. I'm not gonna lie,  after googling (I know!) I'm bricking it!! Please can anyone tell me if they'll  do a biopsy or something then or is that further down the line?  TIA

  • Hello Panickednana and welcome to the community.

    You can find out more about the tests that may be carried out at your appointment just here but if you'd like to have a quick chat with one of our cancer nurses about this then do give them a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    We have a lot of members on the forum who have been in a similar position so hopefully you'll hear from some of them soon but in the meantime, we're sending our support your way and wishing you all the best for Friday.

    Fingers crossed it will o.k Panickednana.

    Kind regards,
