🌟Amelanotic melanoma is a rare skin cancer variant where the malignant cells lack pigment. 🌟The term “amelanotic” can also refer to lesions that are partially pigmentless. 🌟Amelanotic melanomas can appear clear, white, skin-colored, or have a slight pink, purple, or red tint. 🌟They can be difficult to diagnose because they can be mistaken for other skin conditions. ⬇️ If you have a lesion you are not sure about always consult your dermatologist! #amelanoticmelanoma #skincancerawareness #derm
