A member asked:
What does nodular melanoma typically look like? is it mostly dark? pink?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nodular melanoma: Can be black, brown, tan or pink (amelanotic, no pigment production). Called nodular because it immediately begins growing vertically therefore creating a nodule. Arises rapidly. Please see a board certified dermatologist and get this checked asap.
