Hi! I was looking for a place that specializes in Melanoma and Mayo came up . Has anyone had multiple melanomas? My first one in 2022 was staged pt2a. The other 3 melanomas were the last 2 months but they are in Situ. I get more off suspicious spots biopsied tomorrow. My dermatologist has never seen this before. I also had 3 severely dysplastic moles so far, 2 BCC's. I just feel like more is going on. The last Melanoma WLE was last Thursday the path report says changes in lesion after biopsy and it abuts the lateral margin. They will probably need to redo the wle. Anyone experience this? Do you think I need a second opinion why this is happening? I don't think the place I current go specializes in Melanoma. Maybe I need genetic testing or a scan? Maybe I am just paranoid.

Mayo has outstanding dermatologist care and surgeons. I am not sure which one you are seeking to consider.

I go to Mayo Jacksonville. Although I have not had Melanoma mine have been BCC and SCC I di did have MOHS surgery on all of them.

My primary care doctor at Mayo just had surgery on his arm for Melanoma. So when you think you need more of a specialty type medical care provider and specialist you can't go wrong at Mayo.
