Is A Dark And Rough Spot On The Back A Concern?
I discovered a dime sized spot on my back that is rough, slightly darker than the rest of my skin pigment. Probably never exposed to the sun. Doesn’t hurt, no irritation, but this spot has never been there in the past. My husband looked at it and said it’s the same thing he had diagnosed as carcinoma, took several surgeries to “get it all”. Should I be concerned?
