A member asked:
I found a black mole on my labia minora. it can't be looked at for three weeks. is there something it could be other than melanoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A melanoma would be unusual in that location, but not unheard of. It is probably not a melanoma, but even if it is, waiting 3 wks shouldn't be a problem.
