Hi doctors. I'm having an itchy spot on my back. Looks very likely to be a ringworm. I've consulted a doctor n he said it's just a fungal infection and prescribed Afderm-MX cream. Which did cure it but it appears again. Its has come back twice. I maintain a good hygiene so that's not a problem. Now my friend told me to read an article about Melanoma-Skin cancer. And the symptoms match very closely. Like Irregular border - yes Different colors - yes Since UV rays exposure is the most probable cause and I am not highly exposed to sun or any other UV rays source. So I just want to know how likely is it that it can be skin cancer. Because it goes away with that antifungal cream.
