Nodular Melanoma: At the earliest detection and treatment nodular melanoma may have a cure rate of 95%. People should remember that not all melanoma develops in a changing mole. It may also appear from a previous lesion and may look like an awkward scar or cyst. It may also appear like a non-healing bruise or nail streak.

About 95%: The modular form of melanoma begins on the skin and then travels downward. It's initial presentation, if superficial, is called Level 1 and is considered "in situ."
