A member asked:

I just noticed a spot on my back light color indented rather than raised... should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No need to be concerned: I would recommend that you see a dermatologist, especially that the lesion is on your back. Skin lesions are best to be examined rather than described, but please don't be concerned at this time.
