Hi all, my husband had a melanoma removed that was stage 1. He just noticed a small hard lump next to the area where it was removed. He has been going for checkups every 3 months for almost 1 1/2 years . It was on his face next to his nose and lymph nodes were taken and checked at the time of surgery with no cancer in the lymph nodes. Is this a common occurrence? Maybe scar tissue? Any one else have experience with this? We do plan on calling the doctor as soon as we can to get them to check it out but just wondering about anyone with an experience like this and what is was? Thanks, Stelle
