      Does anyone see that as being a little morbid?

          Why?  Melanoma literally means "black tumor".  We didn't choose the word, but the color was essentially chosen for us.  For me, black indicates this is a serious disease!

                Great in the wintertime, bad in the summer absorbs a lot of heat. just wear a lot of sunscreen if it isn't a long sleeve.

                Oh wait, this isn't a racial thing is it?
