A member asked:

I have a super itchy dark bump, that appeared on the back of my left shoulder. its not painful or bothering me but im just worried as its not going away?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

How long present? : A dark bump that is present for more than a week or so, especially in a sun-exposed area like the shoulder, should probably be examined by a Dr for possible malignancy (though most are probably not malignant) If it has only been present a few days you could give it time & apply hydrocortisone cream 2x/day for a week or so to see if anything changes, but get checked if no better- may need biopsy
