Could it be Vulvar Melanoma?
Hi to All. Went to gyn for PAP last week and he found a dark triangular sized mark where the labia minora meet at the bottom (called the "fourchette"). The mark is between 1/4"-1/2" at its widest point. I am scheduled for a punch biopsy the day after next to "rule out melanoma". I noticed this mark there within the last year or so but thought nothing of it because it didn't hurt. I just thought it was a vein or something. I also have mild on again/off again itching above my clitoris which recently started. (I recently had a bartholin's gland cyst removed (marsupialization) on 9/30/09 and had a LEEP done in 1991, at which time I was diagnosed with HPV). I am petrified that I may have cancer. Has anyone else out there ever had or know of someone who has had a similar problem and, if so, what was the outcome??
