Steph, coincidentally I think I had the EXACT same thing on my back. It was biopsied and came back with same results. I had it on my back for over a month so i was getting concerned. The diameter was maybe 3/4 of an inch I'm guessing. I was so relieved since BRCA2 people have a higher incidence of melanoma. This happened over 6 months ago.
