A member asked:
Could a raised painful translucent bump be basal cell and not melanoma? is melanoma always dark in color or does it depend.

See dermatologist: Most melanomas are flat. The raised melanomas are often lethal. Most melanomas are black. 10% are not pigmented and these tend to be more dangerous.
