A member asked:

I scratched off a weird freckle. it didnt bleed much it scabbed over and is now a pink scar. it healed within a week.. if it was melanoma would it have taken longer to heal? and would there be a pigment where the scar is?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If you could recall how was the freckle weird, was it growing fast, was it darker or variable colors, did it have irregular margins, one should be concerned about melanoma. There are other skin cancer top. Basal cell and squamous cell cancer. If there is any concern for cancer, it is best to go to The doctor and they can decide whether biopsy is needed. In One week, not normal, see Doctor.
