What Happens If I Have A Melanoma?
If you find anything suspicious, show it to your doctor as soon as possible.
Remember - not one of the many thousands of people currently suffering from melanoma ever thought it would happen to them.
For most people there are no long term problems. A simple local removal by surgical excision will cure 8 in 10 people.
Sometimes a skin graft is needed and occasional lymph nodes may have to be removed - but this is only for more advanced melanomas.
Early detection and treatment mean minor surgery and an excellent chance of total cure.
