I have a dark spot or kind of shade on the left side of my forehead, cause it's not small it almost cover the entire left side if the forehead. And it had been the same way since last year, At that time I've acne marks all over my face. But now most of them have started fading, but this spot haven't showed any change. Recently I've been using cosmetics to improve the complexion which might also have cleared it a bit. But I've read articles over the internet for this symptoms, and now I'm concerned whether it is melanoma. I can provide pictures if it help on figuring out.

Hello sir. There are around 5-6 criterias which we consider when we talk about a pre existing mole or birthmark becoming cancerous or something to be worried about. If you are saying its persistent since last few years, then there is less to worry. But keep observing it for change in colour, margins, discharges or any peculiar sensations. If you are finding it doubtful then do send me a picture by text for further clarification. Thank u.
