“Skin melanoma?”
Hi, I have a small mark that appeared a while back, occasionally it is very itchy in the area. Could it be melanoma?

An itchy skin mark can have many causes, including irritation, eczema, or benign skin growths. However, since it has been there for 8 months, it is best to have it checked by a dermatologist to rule out melanoma or other skin conditions.
When to See a Doctor:
Changes in size, shape, or color
Irregular borders or uneven color
Persistent itching, bleeding, or crusting
A dermatologist can examine it and do a biopsy if needed. Early detection is important.
