(14,307 posts)My dad had a black spot that grew and was ignored. Eventually, he developed a tumor on his neck and lung and other cancer. At the time of his death he had black spots all over his skin.
I wasn't allowed near him (wicked stepmother) and had no idea this had gone on until I learned he was in the hospital and drove to Canada to see him just before he died and saw him covered with black spots of all shapes and sizes. Ignored, a melanoma can spread and metastasize--which is what happened. I learned from other family members about the growing black spot on his face and what happened after that. I was heartbroken and angry.
We need to be vigilant with changes and regular checkups.
I hope this turns out well for you. You may have caught it early enough.
