      I had a stage I melanoma in 2006, had WLE, never a problem since. I do not think of melanoma much anymore, so it did not even occur to me until today to look up possible melanoma symptoms, for the constant itch i have with a flesh colored looking mole on my leg. It has been itching on and off for weeks now, but last couple days, it has been worse than before. When I went to take a look at it tonight, I noticed another pinkish, circular lesion, about 2 inches up my shin from the itchy one. Is there any possiblity that they could be intans-it mets? Would they itch? My original melanoma was same side, on bottom of my foot.

          Most likely not melanoma, but be vigilant and get it checked.  Assuming that you're not under the care of an onc, I would see a dermologist, let them know you had melanoma and request a biopsy.
