icantbestill29 2 Posted November 19, 2020 I hate Google. 😞 I definitely remember the mole or whatever darkening and getting red around it but I don't recall if it had grown. It's only around three-4 millimeters but I feel sick. Can't eat or sleep. I've had it close to three years. I know nodular melanoma grows vertically but it would get taller, too, right?  The top of it scabbed over when I squeezed it, something came out and now it's skin colored underneath. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dermatofibroma is the only logical conclusion I've come up with. I actually have two on my right leg, and one of them also scabbed over and looks/feels the way you described yours.

icantbestill29 2 Posted November 19, 2020 Red because I keep picking. I don't think a melanoma would scab over like that if I picked it without leaving a huge wound... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MARC 431 Posted November 21, 2020 My co-worker had Melanoma a number of years ago and it looked nothing like the picture you sent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
