Suggest Remedy For A Small Hard Lump In The Groin Area

Hi, I was recently diagnosed with melanoma in situ, so it was caught pretty early. The dermatologist want to do a second in-office surgery to remove two more moderatrly atypical moles that are close by. My concern is that I ve noticed a small, hard, moveable, and painless lump in my groin. Is this something that should be looked at immediately, or will it wait until my next evaluation in a few months

Dermatologist,  's  Response
hi. I have read your question and understand your concern.

I would like to know the site of your melanoma.

if the melanoma was in legs then I suggest you see your dermatologist within few days rather than months because then it may be a metastatic node.

although melanoma in situ does not metastasize but since you said the lump is hard there is no harm in getting examined early.

hope this was helpful. for any further questions please get back to us. thanks.
