I thought it was a big blackhead. It was on my thigh, Black with a brown tinge, perfectly round and small (about 2mm) and shiny/waxy.
I spent along time squeezing it. Damaged the skin around it but the stubborn blackhead remained until I grabbed a pair of nail clippers and pulled it out.
That was two months ago. I now have a pink scar in its place. I’m worried that it might have been a mole because of how I had to remove it!
If it was a mole, it was new and very dark! Which means it could have been an early melanoma? So what do I do now?!?! If it was a melanoma would it re-show itself or will it fester unseen and metastasise?

Reading this back, I know it sounds rediculous. But I had watched this spot for two weeks thinking it was a mole before the idea of it being a blackhead entered my mind, and during that time it changed from dark brown to black. The more I think about this, the more certain I am that this was a mole! I’m just not sure of what to do now! Sit and wait? Go to GP? Could they do anything anyway? There is nothing there to see! And I’ve picked off moles in the past and never been offered a punch biopsy so I don’t think they’d do that this time either!
