The Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology reported that 80% of family physicians have trouble recognizing early or subtle lesions. Dermatologists have a much better track record; yet only 40% of us go to a dermatologist for a skin complaint.
So.if you see something suspicious (and half of all melanomas are initially discovered by the patient), get yourself to a dermatologist. Melanomas discovered in the upper skin layer are almost 100% curable, so the sooner you go the better.
