Hi, Were you diagnosed with melanoma? Was it removed? I had my melanoma mole surgically removed about 10 years ago. The surgery was quite extensive, but have had no re-occurence, and I too go faithfully for my check ups. What does your dermatologist say? Take Care and Good Luck. Actually if melanoma is caught early recovery is usually 100%. Worth the check ups.

My Father was just told he had a mole on
his nose that was cancerous. What is the normal treatment for this ? Could anybody give me some insight what the normal treatment is.
