Found a questionable birthmark with a crusty yellow top. i have a lot of birthmarks, but have not seen one like this. i'm concerned it may be melanoma?

Melanoma : One thing is for sure, rashes or skin lesions need to be seen to know what they are or if you should worry about melanoma. I recommend seeing your dermatologist.
