        Thank you. What do you think would be the reaction to a melanoma if it were scratched or rubbed off?

          Thank you all for the detailed replies. I have a tiny bump under the skin on my shin bone. I can only feel it if I use one finger to toggle it back and forth, and only when my leg is flexed a certain way. It moves when you push it around. Trying to decide between needing a dr visit or my anxiety getting the best of me.

            So do sub q tumors only appear in lymph nodes or can they appear anywhere under the skin?

              Thanks for the reply. I did make an appointment with a dermatologist on Sept. 12th. (Earliest available). I guess looking for reassurance that if there hasn't been a change in over 5 years.., will an extra 5 weeks make a difference?!?

                Do you think I need to explain why I'm switching or will they not even care?
