A member asked:
Visible sunburn mark - is it possible it could be melanoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't know what the: Lesion looks like or how long it has been there. I recommend that all of my patients see the dermatologist annually for a head to toe check out. You could have this lesion checked and hit two birds with one stone. Take care.
