How rare is internal primary melanoma not related to initial skin melanoma?

Internal melanoma?

Can you get it in places where you have never seen the sun?

For example, between your toes.

More things to be frightened of.

Yeah.

I have sunburned looking neck all year round, despite using Factor whatever.

I'm wondering, is it just ageing or skin damage?

It also looks slightly mottled.

Dry patch of itchy dry skin has spread over time.

I'm assuming that must be eczema.

I know that when you do an examination of someone for moles, for example, you go over them with a fine tooth comb.

Is there a scan that people can have?

They just lie there in a machine.

AI does it all.

Teenage son has a large, about three quarters of a centimetre mole on the back, concerned it could develop as he gets older, but could be missed because of its positioning.

Should we play it safe and have it removed now?

A middle-aged bald man with sallow skin.

I try to remember to wear sunscreen and I do wear a hat, but one often gets caught in the sun.

I keep getting small, rough spot on my scalp, which the doctor then freezes off.
