Hello,

I am new to the forum and looking for help or experiences.

I was diagnosed with Melanoma this past November. The lesion is 1.4cm x 1.2cm x .024cm, on my right temple, which was removed.

The biopsy report stated: Superficial spreading melanoma, no ulceration, depth of invasion of .24mm.

I require additional surgery to remove additional tissue to get closer to margins.
