I never actually asked the measurement. If I had to guess based on what I saw and pictures I have, I would say it was 2.5 - 3 cm. But it also grew to that size very rapidly. I noticed it in January and it was easily around .5 cm and had no pain. It stayed that size for months. Beginning of May it was maybe 1 cm, then 2-3 weeks later it was around 2 cm, then a week later I went in to have it checked and had the biopsy and everything done. But I would say a good estimate would be 2.5 - 3 cm, of what was visible to me in a mirror and pictures, I'm not sure how far back it may have extended slightly out of my view.
