Hi,
I had a mole removed for biopsy from my left fore arm. Results 2 weeks later were malignant melanoma, thankfully, stage 1.
I then had a much deeper and wider area removed which required 16 internal and 16 external stitches.
That was March 2016. Now whenever I brush or lean on my left forearm I get a severe burning sensation at the biopsy site. There are no visible surface signs for this, could it simply be nerve damage after biopsy.
Mike.
I don't know,,
But watch for infection and check
Back with a doctor or nurse
I suspect it is. But as the other commenter said just give a quick call to your dermatologist and ask.
Whenever you've been diagnosed with any form of cancer, you should report back to your doctor if you are having any symptoms. Get an appointment and have them look you over! I know it's very scary, believe me. I've been there and I'm there again now. Best to go in and find out what might be going on.
None of us is a medical doctor. We're all here to offer comfort and practical support to each other.
Please let us know how you get on, Mike!
