          Thanks for your response. I also figured it would be weird that it would travel from neck to groin. The ones in the groin might not actualy be swollen they might be shotty lymph nodes that never quite go back to their normal size they all seem to be less than 1cm wich is reassuring. I have a derm appointmwnt in less than a week so i think i can survive until that. If anyone wishes for me to come bck with results just post on this thread asking for it ans i’ll give you them. If i do not come back i likely was given an all clear.

            If it is indeed melanoma in these lymphnodes it is atleast stage 3 which has a bad prognosis.

              Also to clarify it might not eaven be a lymphnode im not sure and if it is you can’t feel it just by moving ur fingers around there and pressing a bit you have to lay in the right position and really get in there to feel anything. I am not sure how deep zits ans cysts can be but i have many especially in this area.

                    I would think a specialist in moles can diagnose it as well if not better since derms are not specialised in only moles and melanoma don’t you think?

                      Will a nurse specialised on moles be able to diagnose eventual melanoma?
