Yes, it can be reddish brown, light, dark or something in the middle of those. Depending on your skin color it changes in color, so the pictures aren't really accurate. Get a yearly check up on your skin if you think that you could have it.

What are the indications of melanoma?

Melanoma is indicated by several signs, most notably changes in the appearance of moles or skin lesions. Key features to watch for include asymmetry, irregular borders, uneven color, a diameter larger than 6mm, and any evolution in size, shape, or color over time (often summarized as the ABCDEs of melanoma). Additionally, new growths or sores that do not heal can also be indicative of melanoma. Early detection is critical for effective treatment.


Is it common to have two separate malignant melanoma skin sites and not feel or show any symptoms of the disease?

About 10 % of people who have had a primary melanoma will end up developing a second primary melanoma at some point in their life. Melanoma does not usually show symptoms but itching of a mole or lesion is reported by some patients. The signs of a melanoma are a mole that has changed. Change can be asymmetry of the lesion (one side does not match the other), Borders change (the edges look fuzzy or scalloped), Color change (mole has turned dark black, red, purple), and Difference (any mole that changes and looks different than before or different than your other moles). This is know as the A B C D 's of melanoma. Also melanoma can form on skin that has not previously had a mole associated with it.
