A member asked:
A freckle on my breast appeared 1.5 yrs ago. it was black & very round. just noticed its now brown & might have possibly changed shape very slightly. its remained flat. how likely is it melanoma? if it is, does flat mean it hasnt become invasive yet?

See MD now!: Trying to guess whether a "freckle" is malignant or not from a description rather than an examination is sheer "Tomfoolery". See a MD ASAP, preferably a Dermatologist who sees skin lesions frequently and can make that determination.
