Going for skin scanning tomorrow to make sure melanoma is not in other areas. What should I expect?

Question

What does the doctor due during the full body scan? Does he remove any more moles that look like they can be melanoma? I just had surgery done two weeks ago on my arm to remove the melanoma and upon removing the stiches the doctor will due the scan. I am just worried that there will be more affected areas. I had a mole removed last year and it came back recently. Can that be another spot of melanoma?

Answer 1

the doctor will of course look at the whole body skin, you can hope there are no more suspiscious lesions, but this word is the hallmark, if something does not look right, they will remove it for further evaluation. Hope you don't have any mroe of it, good luck
