      Hi! This is the first time I have posted here but my nerves are getting to the best of me and I wanted to check in with the group to see if they had any expertise on this subject…

      Quick background I was diagnosed with Stage 1 melanoma on the back 4 years ago and have had check ups every 6months since then. 

      I have a clear mole on the top of my forehead that gets lots of sun and have had concerns about it for a while but the dr's always brushed it off. I too didn't think much of it, but most recently the mole has become painful to touch or when i brush over it..not sever pain but definitely tender. I made an appointment next week and really want them to remove it. 

      Just wondering if anyone else has had a clear mole that was tender that ended up being melanoma or better yet benign…trying to figure out how concerned I should be. 

      Thanks 🙂
