Change occurs slowly. Get out your digital cameras and take pictures and use them for baselines. Be assertive with your medical care folks. My primary care doctor thought this was nothing, but I have a great relationship with him and we went ahead with the original biopsy to "be on the safe side."
The same holds true with other cancers such as breast. Just learn to pay attention. Be on the safe side.

Ski, Good of you to share with us. I am confident we will be camping together well into our old age.
You bet Ted! You will have a starring role in many more trip reports to come.

As a couple have said here, melanoma can show up unrelated to sun exposure. This was my case. I am part of a group where my moles are prone to change into melanoma. I must be diligent and I will be. If you catch it early, you can have success. Please do.
I'm a bit sore, all this was a surprise and a pain in the butt, but so what? I like being alive and happy and plan on doing so for a long time to come.
Get checked.
