Yes, bottom eyelid. I don’t know what it’s called. It’s the skin that makes up the bottom part of the eye enclosure, you know, the one with eyelashes growing out of it. Eyelashes are not just on the eyelid, so I hope I have described it with sufficient sufficiency. Not that anybody will read these extra details at this late stage. Maybe I should ask what the proper name for it is, as I have no clue.

I’ve been swimming for about 4 months now (swim team).. outdoors. but i wear sunblock most of the time. i’m asian, and rarely burn. (only tan, and get darker and darker..) i now have tiny black spots on my arm -7 on my right arm, and 5 on my left.. i’m “pretty sure” most wern’t there before (two of the black dots were always there). do i have melanoma or just more moles?

I have a nephew who was born prematurely and has a growth on his cheeck that I am unable to determine what it is. It looks like exposed tissue and i believe it may be growing. Is there a way to somehow post the pictures so as to better see what i mean?

We have a nonrefundable trip to Egypt planned 5 days after unexpected surgery for a 2 centimenter diameter area around a mole with a depth being to the muscle. Does anyone know if this will be too painful to travel with?

That is to say melanoma is recurring for the first time, but on more than one mole at the same time, away from the original sight. Is that significant? Is it normal to appear on more than one mole at the same time?
away from the original site.
waiting on results for stage of cancer. Curious until then.

What does the doctor due during the full body scan? Does he remove any more moles that look like they can be melanoma? I just had surgery done two weeks ago on my arm to remove the melanoma and upon removing the stiches the doctor will due the scan. I am just worried that there will be more affected areas. I had a mole removed last year and it came back recently. Can that be another spot of melanoma?
