A member asked:

I have a dark spot in the upper left side of my back that feels numb, what are you thoughts on this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Worrisome: Dark spots on the skin can be quite worrisome. I would have it checked out by a Dermatologist in the very near future. Melanoma unfortunately comes to mind as a worst case scenario.
