A member asked:
Can a tan skin lesion that was scraped off first layer by fingers change color and still be rough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If there has been any change to a skin lesion, including coloration and texture, I recommend having it looked at by your doctor. It needs to be examined and possibly have a biopsy taken or have the lesion removed if needed. I do not recommend scraping the lesion deeper.
