Motivation
I recently discovered a crusty asymmetrical mole on my scalp with what looks like bruising. It was much smaller and get scabbing in the back of scalp where it looks bruised. I am seeing a dermatologist soon but would like to get some input and hope set my mind at ease. I have had swollen lymph nodes for about 5yrs and most recently seen growth in my thyroid ass well as a enlarged right side of my neck which is extremely firm. Please see images and feel free to share your experience and opinion.
...I am glad you have been proactive and made an appointment to see a dermatologist. As with any unexplained scabbing or discoloration, it's a good idea to see a dermatologist for a thorough skin check.
Just in case this will be your first trip to a dermatologist, I am including an article that may come in handy: https://skincancer.net/life-with-skin-cancer/what-to-expect-at-the-dermatologist
I wish I could give you more specific information on your symptoms--I know how frustrating the wait must be for you. Hopefully, other members who have had a similar symptoms will be able to chime in and give you more specifics about their experience.
I am keeping you in my thoughts as your appoointment approaches. Please update us on your progress and your doctor's thoughts.
