hi sir. First v need to do a biopsy to confirm melanoma. once biopsy is done v need to examine if it has involved other parts of the body. once no involvement of any other parts. wide local excision of the tumour with local radiation will suffice. but it needs to be removed and evaluated for sure. kindly meet a surgeon. thank u
