        In the picture you can see the original size at time of first biopsy based off of the scars.

        If it was “fine” the first time, what are odds it would be a melanoma now?

              Thanks for the information. I figured same as you that were it a melanoma, after 6 years, younwould think there’d be more progression. I just couldnt find any certain alternative possibilities. So thanks. I was concerned because it does look like many pics of of melanomas I could find online.

              Another question, after removing the nail for biopsy, we discovered that there were spots of discoloration on the bed below the nail too. She removed some of that for analysis too. Those werent there when last biopsied 4 years ago. Is that concerning?
