Melanoma is generally raised above the surface of the skin. Melanoma is a type of special malignant tumor with a high mortality rate. It usually arises from moles or pigmented spots on the skin that, after intense irritation or specific radiation exposure, undergo changes, leading to gradual growth. Early detection of melanoma offers a significant chance of cure. Melanoma is typically confined to the outer layer of the skin or epidermis. Once melanoma spreads, it becomes difficult to treat, and the chances of survival decrease. Therefore, if you suspect that you have melanoma, it is crucial to visit a dermatology department at a reputable hospital for diagnosis and to undergo surgical removal followed by a pathological examination.
