    Can melanoma look like a tiny black pinprick on the skin?

    I realize this can only be known for sure with a biopsy, but wondering if anyone has ever seen this manifestation in a patient not under any kind of systemic treatment.

      Lots of factors to consider; is it new, has it changed – when in doubt, cut it out! Get it checked and biopsed if for no other reason than for your peace of mind!
