See the derm again: feeling of something crawling on your scalp, and your 4 yr old started to have the same feeling, might be something contagious, but don't worry, shouldn't be a major issue, your Family doctor/Dermatoligist would help, but you would need a precription medicine though

I had a scalp biopsy. The dermatologist tended to refer to it as a "funny-looking" freckle, but when I pushed the issue, the dermatologist could not rule out melanoma? If it is melanoma, what symptoms might I have now? How is this typically treated?
