      Hi there. ive noticed in the last two days a strange spot/blemish/thing on my shoulder/neck area. I have lots of scars on my back so know it pretty well, so this is def new and very sensitive to the touch. I also know what pimples are and know it would have either gone away or formed by now.
      So like the paranoid person i am, i looked it up. and came to the amelanotic melanoma.

      the mark looks like it has some scar tissue around it, and when i was born and to this day i have a lack of pigment on parts of my body. so i thought having this condition and having scars on my back, mixed with the Australian sun in summer would i be more susceptible ?

       

      here is a crappy phone image of the mark on my shoulder.
