A member asked:
On my right ankle, i see two black spots, side by side, and the veins are more noticeable. should i be alarmed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dermatologist: Prominent veins in the ankle area are not unusual, but the pigmented spots will have to be examined by your physician or dermatologist for diagnosis. It would be quite unusual for two malignant lesions, like melanomas, to be present side by side, however.
