      I posted earlier about a specific problem I am having, but this question keeps coming up in my mind.

      Does the appearance of melanoma continue to change on the skin? Or will it get to a certain point and stop?

      The spot I am concerned about has been there at least 4-5 years. It was never on my radar until I recently started reading about melanoma. I’ve had several skin checks by a dermatologist in the last 4-5 years but I am worried it was missed. It’s barely visible, but its there.
