Get a pet scan after your first melanoma , in situ or not and definitely after a second discovery.

Yes, having melanoma in situ removed does increase the risk of developing another melanoma in the future. Factors like a personal history of melanoma, fair skin, UV exposure, and family history can contribute to this risk. Regular skin checks and sun protection are essential to reduce the chances of recurrence.
