My yearly visit to my dermatologist. He found it on my leg and removed it.

First diagnosis: I was being treated for infection on toe nail, then for granuloma. I was referred to a specialist who suspected melanoma. Stage 2

Second diagnosis: i noticed a golf ball sized lump in my groin which was quickly biopsied and then had lymph node dissection. Stage 3
