A member asked:
I've heard that nodular melanoma doesn't start out as skin coloured bumps. how true is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I believe that most nodular melanomas start out as colored lesions but some can be without color. The safest practice is to have any skin lesion that stands out as quite different from anything else on your skin checked by a physician or dermatologist.
