A member asked:

A mole was removed in 2008 from my fiancee. the scar (quarter sized) just now started to hurt with a dull throbbing feeling. should we be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Look for any other c: If there are any other changes(besides pain), then i would be more concerned. Look for any discoloration or any lump or thickness as any local recurrence of melanoma will produce a nodule which you can easily feel. If the pain continues, go see your doctor for a medical examination.

I have a flat, non-itchy dark red spot on my ankle. It doesn't hurt either. It's about the size of a small oval pill. It's definitely not a mole or a scar. I've had it for two weeks. There is only one and I don't have any other symptoms.
