So having had two suspicious moles removed and biopsies previously I know what is normal and what is not, but recently had a strange mark appear on myy arm. It was slightly indented, brown and perfectly circular with a darker mark in the middle which was an odd shape. Within days it had changed, the darker centre turned into a small lump and had different colours in it. I called the GP and sent photos. They told me to send another two over a period of two weeks. The next day, it flaked and came off and has left a white area with a red mark in the middle which is an odd shape. I sent this to the GP who said it is not too concerning and to send a photo again next week.
Last time they waited two weeks they referred to dermatology on a normal basis, not priority, and I was called within days to go in and have it removed. They said it should have been urgent and makred the biopsy as urgent as they thought it was melanoma. It wasn't that time, but I am so concerned this time and the doctor is doing the same. Has anyone had a melanoma present like this?
Thank you
