instruction: hello doctor I found a very small dark spot on my thigh today to the best of my recollection I have never seen it before now of course I am thinking the worse and believe I have melanoma I am olive skinned I have never had an issue with moles or dark spots before my mom had a pre cancerous growth removed from her face years ago and she is fine she goes to her check ups and applies sunscreen all the time when I was a kid I never saw my mom applying sunscreen it was the 70 and it was just something we did not do she just turned 76 I attached a photo I am sure you will think it is something that should be looked at and so do I am going to make an appointment with a dermatologist but I also suffer from health anxiety depression and ocd so I am convinced it is melanoma and I am feeling very depressed right now
output: hello I have seen the pictures no it is not melanoma it is a normal nexus benign for your confirmation you can go for an excisional biopsy of the lesion histopathology reports will confirm that the lesion is benign or malignant do not worry it is normal nexus due to melanosis increase in melanin pigment
