Brown Spots on the Body


Oct 13, 2009
-------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Dr. Irwin, I am 20 years old and my skin in general is in a good state. Though I have noticed a big, light brown spot in my bikini zone. It's about two thumbnail sized, flat and with a slightly dry skin on it. I am not sure how long has it been there, since it is an awkward place and it doesn't hurt. What do you think could it be? it's not a spot that has been exposed to a lot of sun.
I think you should have this looked at by your primary doctor or a dermatologist. It's not worth the risk to wait because of the small possibility it could be an early melanoma.  Melanoma, if caught early, is completely curable with a small surgery.  It can be fatal if caught late.  Please go see your doctor.  Dr. I
