I have a rare skin condition on the left side of my body called epidermal Nevus. I was bullied my entire life. For this reason I hardly post pictures of it because tbh it makes me really insecure. I would love to learn to love myself. It’s really hard. But here it is. My art.

Types of Malignant Melanoma

**Lentigo maligna melanoma: freckle = lentigo, flat, tan or brown, common in elderly.

**Nodular melanoma: grows in thickness first rather than superficial spread (so it metastasizes more often). May be diagnosed as hemangioma: tumor of blood vessles.

**Superficial spreading melanoma: MOST COMMON TYPE 70%. Spreads through epidermis before it goes deep. The spread is slow.

**Acrolentiginous melanoma: distal (on hands and feet). Found on nails, fingers, toes, soles of feet. Dark pigment.

**BTW for melanoma it is advised to do a wide-excisional biopsy. A punch biopsy would increase the risk of metastasis.
