Black dot/looks a bit like a speck slightly beside/ in the scar two months after a wide excision for melanoma. what could this be?

It's difficult to voice an opinion without inspecting your scar/lesion. With your particular history, it is prudent to see your dermatologist for a thorough evaluation. Take care.
