The biopsy will tell you what you need to know

I’m sure you will be ok bro, it’s highly doubtful you have melanoma

Yeah. They just use a razor to get a shaving to diagnose. If it looks cancerous they come back and get the margins and they get it all out.

I give 2 ****s - Tell my derm to go wild and cut anything off that looks sus.

Yea an old coworker did. He was 27 at the time. Was freaking out and thought he was going to die. Went and got it removed. He is completely fine and actually just got married at 32.

You'll be okay OP. Get a biopsy and get it removed right away if it is.

My mom gets a lot of skin cancers. Never melanoma but the other 2. Something that sounds insane but actually works, is if you put high quality CBD oil or THC oil on them they go away. I used to smoke a lot of hash oil and saw a documentary about it. I talked to my mom and gave her a tube of hash oil and within a few weeks the cancers went away. She normally would have a biopsy and have them surgically removed. I'd still go the doctor route Incase it is melanoma but it's funny when my mom sees a doc for a biopsy, has the cancer confirmed and then goes through to a follow up appointment and the doctor can't find it. They didn't believe it at first but after a few times they did.

She just puts some oil on a bandage and keeps it on the cancer 24/7. Replacing the oil and bandage a couple times a day.

they usually remove the mole, and then the biopsy can take a week. depending on what it is, they cut it out in stages until no more cancerous cells are found.
