A member asked:
Can melanoma cause rash on the back?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not typically: Melanoma does not cause a rash, but some medications for the treatment of advanced melanoma can (vemurafenib). If the rash does not go away or subside over the course of a week, see your doctor to help determine what it is.

Not usually: A rash is not a common symptom of melanoma. But it is important to bring this rash to the attention of your friendly dermatologist.
