Tagged NSFW so you don’t have to see my little freckles unless you want to.
Hi guys,

Showed up in the past week. Not a scab, never gotten hurt on this part of my arm. Little small marks just showed up in the past 24 hours. Little bigger then a pencil eraser

I love to tan and sit in the sun :( I visited a dermatologist and they told me it was a nevus spilus and that's pretty much it.

So is strongly suspect my mother has melanoma and I started searching for melanoma specialist bit wasn't able to find one specializes in melanoma. It can be due to us being from India where skin cancers are rare, that can be the reason there's no doctors who specializes in melanoma.
Is travelling overseas to different country only option ? or just oncologist ,radiologist able to treat my mother??I got on a call with dermatologist about my mother's melanoma but he seemed utterly clueless. doctors or experts please suggest me some solution.
