Have you noticed a changing mole or dark spot on your skin? Melanoma is a dangerous form of skin cancer that should be evaluated by a dermatology provider as soon as possible.
Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that begins in melanocytes, the cells that produce pigment in the skin. It may develop in an existing mole or appear as a new dark spot. Melanoma can spread quickly if not treated early, so prompt evaluation is important for successful treatment.
