Question: Your Opinion:Does this sound/look like melanoma.?
I have a mole slightly larger than a pencil eraser on my back and is discolored: edges are tan then fades to white and has black center-if not black, very dark brown. It just recently got discolored, I had the mole for quite awhile. It doesn't really hurt, only if you push on it. It has a pretty consistent circular shape with one side slightly larger than the other. Mother had skin cancer-non malignant, which has not returned. I plan on seeing the doctor when i get insurance but would like some unoffical answers.Health Question & Answer
