A member asked:
If i scratched off a melanoma woukd it heal normally and would there be pigment under it like where the scar is?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Melanoma may or may not have pigment. If you have any residual lesion, especially if there is nodule, it would be prudent to see a doctor as it may require excision and examination of tissue by a pathologist.
