So about a month and a half ago I saw GP with this little thing on my sole (see pic). She didn't think it was anything worrying but said to see if it changed in a month. It didn't really but it looked like it had because I couldn't leave it alone and had scratched at it etc so had created a bit of scar tissue. Anyway she thought it was fine still but referred me under 2ww to cover her back to melanoma screening clinic.
I went yesterday and discussed my fears with dermatologist who used the dermatascope. She said it just looked inflamed, there was nothing that made it look like melanoma. When I mentioned it being a bit pigmented, she said it's not even pigmented but I thought the initial spot looked pigmented (on the photo). There was no characteristics of melanoma.
It would be highly unlikely for a dermatology consultant to be wrong wouldn't it and they would know what amelanotic melanoma was like surely? Silly to still worry?
