Yup, watch out for melanoma possibilities anywhere on you, or in you. None of mine were on my skin, or in my eyes, etc. I've had two tumors in my left brain and three in left lung. That's the only two places for me, so far.

My melanoma was a light tan spot on my arm. The dermatologist didn’t suspect it to be cancerous so it went without treatment for sometime. I too thought it was nothing (no different discoloration).

That what appeared to be a small freckle on my left cheek turned out to be melanoma. This was caught by my dermatologist on a 6th month checkup.
