Hi! Welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.
Based on the history you have shared, it may be present before that however squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma have different etiologies and doesn't seem to be related if so, as biopsy is still awaited and it's difficult to label it as melanoma yet.
It's also difficult to predict whether it was there before 6 months however before onset of any symptoms the start of neoplastic cells replication can start without giving any visible signs. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Regards
