A member asked:

Suspicious mole removed near hamstring 2 yrs ago. benign. small pea sized lump recently developed. cancer or cyst?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get it removed: You should see your doctor and have an examination of this suspicious lump. I should actually be removed and examined microscopically as it can be a recurrence of the same tumor, possibly it is cancerous(Melanoma). But biopsy is recommended urgently.

Dr Blinski and another doctor agreed
