Is A Large Rash On The Back A Symptom Of Melanoma?
Question: Is this melanoma? It dies not hurt or itch. I had a dermotologist look at it a while ago and say it was not cancerous, it got agitated because it rubbed against bra strap (mole is on my back). It is larger than 5mm, and has grown larger since that appt visit 2-3 years ago.
Brief Answer:
Not dangerous
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
I can see there is swelling in the mole and bit of abrasion too.
Although it is not looking dangerous but it's better to get it removed.
It can be removed easily with the use of radiofrequency ablator.
Please meet a dermatologist and get It removed and send it for biopsy.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
