A member asked:
I was sunbournt a a week ago at the beach . i now have a bump in the area where i was sunburnt. could this be a melanoma? could melanoma really form just days after sun damage?

This is unlikely melanoma. It is more likely that you developed a blood blister in the region of the burn. Why do not you have your primary care physician or dermatologist evaluate in order to give you peace of mind.
