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
