Yes, it would be a good idea to consult an oncologist. While your lymph nodes were clear, the inconclusive pathology regarding whether the second melanoma was related to the first warrants further evaluation. An oncologist can assess your situation, recommend additional tests if needed, and discuss monitoring or treatment options to reduce the risk of recurrence or spread.
