I Have A Large Black Flat Spot That Appeared On

Posted on Fri, 17 Apr 2020

Question: I have a large black flat spot that appeared on my lower leg over night. There was no mole or lesion there before. Of course I am worried about melanoma but not sure that can appear so quickly. It does not itch and is not sore

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query.
Melanomas don’t appear overnight.
I would recommend you to upload the pictures of the affected area under the report section of the site so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.
Alternatively you can mail the pictures to YYYY@YYYY as “ Attention : Dr Asmeet”.
