Suggest Treatment For A Spot Under The Right Eyebrow That Increases In Size
I have a spot under my right eyebrow that seems to be widening. It is light brown in color. My brother has a big black birthmark near that area of the eye also. I only have Medicare and Medicaid insurance because I m on ssdi for Epilepsy and clinical depression. Should I see a dermatologist

Hi,
Features described in your query are suspicious of melanoma until proven otherwise. I advise you to consult a dermatologist for proper clinical assessment and to confirm a diagnosis a biopsy may be required. A dermatologist (skin doctor) or a health care professional is qualified to diagnose melanoma. If melanoma is found, more extensive surgery may be required to completely remove the tumor and surrounding tissue.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
