What Are The Symptoms Of A Melanoma?

I have a growth 1/8 inch in diameter on my right forearm, purple with black spots, no apparent cause, about 35 days old, not sore...just troubling. Wife thinks it might be melanoma and is concerned. Currently taking rosuvastatin , methotrexate, prednisone, and bisoprolol .

Hello,

That melanoma can be asymptomatic and it may just have a rash with an irregular border and black brown color. Mostly there might be some itching. Dermatologist opinion would be great for its evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
