A member asked:

Hi im from india age 20 im having a very light thin streak in middle finger of my left hand it got hurt two months back with a ball or is it melanoma?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not melanoma: After trauma to hand, a remnant hematoma may appear as a streak which should subside in time. A melanoma is a true lesion, pigmented but well defined and localized. It can be nodular or have a variegated pattern with dark black, brown and white, but does not appear as a streak.
