I went to the dermatologist 6 years ago said it’s just mole inside my nail but he said keep it eye on it when it get wider or darker and infection. Looks same till now but I made appointment to different dermatologist for opinion and biopsy. Just makes me worried skin cancer? Thank you all have a blessed Saturday ♥️🙏

Hanna2020, The punch biopsy was not painful. Dr put numbing on it. But yes, afterwards it did hurt a bit. Did you get a biopsy yet? The cream doesn't seem to be working 😕
