Hi,
Suggestive of melanoma. Based on the history you seem to be suffering from a cancer (melanoma). I advise you to consult a surgeon for proper clinical evaluation and possibly a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
