I have had a hard pea sized lump on my upper chest area for about a year now. It's slowly got bigger.
It feels firm to touch and like a hard pea under my skin.
I saw my GP about it a few months ago and he took a look by eye and said it was a Dermatofibroma. I looked online and it does look like that.
But I can't help but worry it's something sinister and after googling I've worried myself sick it's Nodular Melanoma 😫

I'm awaiting an appointment with a private Dermatologist but I am beside myself with worry in the meantime.
I've attached some photos.
🥺

Looks exactly like mine. Won't led me add a pic but I did a thread in 2018 on it and the pic was in there, I will try to find it. Dermatologist said dermatofibroma and I'm still here three years on (and so is it!)

i have had mm and to be honest it doesn't represent what i would expect to see, ie the colour and lack of pigmentation for example. Do get it checked if worried though

This is from my original thread in October 2018. username was helpwithmyhealthanxiety which says it all really. It still looks exactly the same!
