I have a freckle type ‘thing’ on my leg, right at the top and in the groin area. It’s right near my girlie bits but on my leg. I noticed it a few months ago and I’m sure it wasn’t there before. I read about a girl having a similar (but bigger) growth on her face and it turned out to be malignant melanoma so now I’m freaking out. It is only small (smaller than the width of my small finger nail) but it is raised in a section (the dark brown section) and slightly lighter brown elsewhere. I can’t really look at it because of where it is but I took some photos (see below).
It’s obviously in an awkward place and somewhere that isn’t exposed to sun. It doesn’t appear to have grown. Maybe an age thing? I’m 54 and female (post menopausal).
Do I need to get it checked out? Photos are not very clear, sorry.
