Melanoma nursing service leafletMelanoma

Melanoma is a type of skin cancer, which arises from the pigment cells (melanocytes) in the skin.  Melanocytes make a brown/black pigment (known as melanin), and often the first sign of a melanoma developing is a previous mole changing in colour or a new brown/black lesion developing. Most frequently there is darkening in colour but occasionally there is loss of pigmentation with pale areas or red areas developing. This melanoma on the skin is known as the primary melanoma.
