A member asked:
I had a mole on my face that i rubbed off . is it true that would it grow back in the same area if it was a melanoma? and if so how long would it take for the mole to grow back if it was melanoma ?

MELANOMAS DON'T RUB OFF THEY ARE A CANCEROUS LESION THAT HAS TO BE SURGICALLY REMOVED. A MELANOMA OCCURS IN MALES MORE THAN FEMALES STARTING AROUND THE AGE OF 30.IT IS USUALLY DARK AND WILL GROW OVER THE YEARS.AND CAN BE FLAT OR ELEVATED. USE SUN SCREEN SINCE YOU LIVE ON AN ISLAND WITH LOTS OF SUN.
