A member asked:
Do most melanomas besides nodular grow horizontally before they grow vertically?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily. Superficial spreading melanoma is just one type. Other can grow deeper without superficial spreading. If the mole doubles in size, becomes irregular in size, shape or color, bleeds, ulcerates or develops a nodule, see a doctor. Wish you good health!
