“Slow healing recurring sore?”
I have no other current medical issues. I have previously had diagnosed and removed a small stage 2 melanoma and a larger basal squamous at different locations. 6 months since last skin checkup. Who do I need to see to have this looked at/removed?

Hello
You state that you have no recurring medical issues but have had two malignant skin lesion removed in the past. You are now suffering from a non-healing lesion on what appears to be your leg. It isn’t possible to know the cause of this lesion by observation alone. It is possible that it represents an infected hair follicle, or it is possible that it can represent another skin cancer.
It appears that your doctor, either a surgeon or a dermatologist successfully removed these past two lesions. My advice would be to consult the same physician who performed the removal of these two lesions to inspect and recommend treatment of this newer lesion.
Thank you.
