Are sudden skin eruptions on different parts of the body normal for melanoma?
Sudden skin eruptions appearing on different parts of the body aren't typically how melanoma presents itself. Melanoma usually develops as a single new or changing mole rather than multiple eruptions appearing at once.
However, melanoma can appear in different ways depending on the type and stage:
* New or changing moles that develop over time
* Spots that look like pink or red sores, cysts, bruises, or darkened areas under the skin
* Lesions that may ooze, bleed, crust, or cause itching
* In advanced stage 4 melanoma, smaller tumors called satellite lesions can appear around the main tumor
If you're noticing multiple new skin changes or eruptions appearing suddenly, it's important to see a dermatologist right away. While this pattern isn't the most common presentation of melanoma, any new or changing skin lesions should be evaluated to rule out melanoma or other skin conditions.
