  • Hello Jadeleigh1 and thanks for posting,

    I am sorry to learn about your mom and can understand you wanting to be vigilant about checking your skin.

    I'm afraid, even with a photo, I am not able to tell you if this is a blood blister or a melanoma. And nor can anyone else on Cancer Chat - only a doctor can make an assessment and diagnose what is the matter. Our advice to anyone who has noticed a new and persisting skin change is always to see their GP and get it checked out.

    Hopefully, this won't be a melanoma and the GP will be able to give you some peace of mind.

    Please give us a ring if you want to talk anything over, the number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and we are around from 9-5, weekdays,

    Julia
