        Just for peace of mind, have it checked.  Insist on a biopsy if that will help you feel better.  You know the signs of melanoma and are understandably worried.  Do it!!

          If your insurance pays, go for it!  I agree with the previous post about the necessity of a good closure.

            Whoops, sorry.  Just read on in your profile so my questions are answered.  How do you keep such an upbeat outlook?

              So good to hear your upbeat post.  Are you still stage 3?  I'm new.  What treatments have you had?

                New here.  How do you get to the subgroups?

                  A friend had a white melanoma.  I'd get it checked by a dermatologist just to be safe.
