Going for skin scanning tomorrow to make sure melanoma is not in other areas. What should I expect?


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?

they will examine the whole body skin all over again and yes if something looks suspiscious, it has to be removed, good luck
