Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose malignant melanoma (including nails)
Do you have skin darkening?
Are there black, blue, or brown spots on the skin or elsewhere? (Including moles)
Do you have any skin problems?
Do you have skin ulcers (sores)?
Treatment depends on the size and stage of the cancer and overall health. Treatment for early-stage melanomas usually includes surgery to remove the melanoma. If it has spread beyond the skin, treatment options may include surgery to remove affected lymph nodes, immunotherapy (a drug treatment that helps the immune system fight cancer), radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
