Hi, i had a biopsy on thursday on a mole on my thigh. the consultant said he obviously can’t confirm melanoma until the biopsy results are back but there is a long wait of around 8 weeks! He said he does highly suspect melanoma and that he thinks it has only spread from the epidermis to the dermis so won’t be too deep. i’m still worried as i get an achy pain under my arms which i know it s probably hormonal (i’m a 48 year old female) and unrelated to my mole. Could the consultant actually be able to tell through examination and his experience that it’s melanoma? it does have a grey veil but he said the veil is thin which is why he doesn’t think it’s deep. Has anyone had a similar experience?
many thanks.
