I have a growing black mark on my chest. Can you please advise me on what to do?

A growing black mark on the chest should be examined promptly by a doctor or dermatologist, as it may indicate a serious skin condition such as melanoma (a type of skin cancer). Please do not attempt to treat it yourself or use over-the-counter creams until it has been properly diagnosed.

Noticing a growing black mark on your chest is important and should be evaluated promptly by a dermatologist, as it could represent a variety of skin conditions, including potentially serious ones like melanoma.

What you should do:

  • Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist as soon as possible for a thorough skin examination.
  • Avoid self-treating or applying any medications without professional advice.
  • Monitor the mark for changes in size, shape, color, or if it becomes painful or bleeds, and seek urgent care if these occur.

If you notice any rapid changes or symptoms like bleeding, pain, or itching, consider visiting an emergency dermatology service immediately.
