A Gold Coast woman is warning other young Australians to not just get their skin checked but to seek a second and third opinion after she was allegedly misdiagnosed with a cyst when she actually had melanoma. 9News

23-year-old Ashleigh Simrajh, from Coomera, is now also filing a civil case against the two doctors who she's claiming failed to take a biopsy of her cancer.23-year-old Ashleigh Simrajh was eventually diagnosed with Stage 4 melanoma.

Ms Simrajh was just 20 in 2017 when she went to see an unnamed GP on the Gold Coast about a red mark on her leg. She claims he then referred her to a general surgeon who allegedly agreed with the GP the mark was just a cyst.But when it became increasingly painful, she saw a third doctor who diagnosed it as Stage 4 melanoma.
