This was the red mark on the side of my right buttock.  Just got results that it was a Melanoma, but had not spread vertically.  She said it's very good I got it at this early stage.  Going back in next week to have more skin excised and then after that, checkups every 3 months.

Looking online before actual diagnosis can be very misleading as I thought this was a dermatafibroma. It basically had been in the same spot for 3-4 months and hadn't gone away.  That's why I went in to get checked.  So always best to play it safe and get it checked out.

I had no idea about unpigmented melanomas or ones that were pink or red instead of black/brown.  Hope this image helps in some way and hope everyone stays healthy!
