melanoma (white spot in scar??)

[Guest guest]

This is the first time I've posted...not exactly sure what I'm doing but..here

goes!!

I'm in hopes that someone may have the answer....

I was diagnosed with stage 1 melanoma in August. I waited about 3 years before

having the mole removed from my upper left arm and to receive the bad news. The

depth was .87 mm so that was the good news. They now want me to go for surgery

and re-excise with 10 mm margins all the way around. The surgeon also wants to

do a lymph node biopsy.

After doing a lot of reading and soul searching I have decided to take an

alternative approach. I'm seeing a naturopath who is also an iridologist. I'm

eating very different then I use to and I'm taking vitamins, minerals and

different types of seaweed. I'm already feeling so much better and it's only

been 9 weeks!

Here's my question and I hope someone will have the answer. When they removed

the mole the incision was about 1 inch long. Again this was back at the

beginning of August of this year. This Saturday I noticed that right in the

middle of my scar there is a white spot. It's raised, sort of hard feeling

...really looks kind of like a pimple, but hard. In short, my doctor won't take a

look and says that I need to go for the surgery and to go see the surgeon. Has

anyone heard of this before? If so, what was it? Almost seems that it's scar

tissue but I want to be sure.

Hope someone can help...Thank you!

Gratefully,

Lory
