Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What does stage IV melanoma look like? My uncle looks like leprosy or Hansen disease? Soft knots all over his body.He is 72 losing mobility or use of his legs, very weak, skin and bones. YYYY@YYYY I need pictures of both the diseases where can I see pictures?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern for your uncle, here the clinical appearance or physical look of the skin lesion is not matters but histopathological examination is important because this only can show whether lesion is malignant or benign, hope this information helps, take care.
