There are 4 major types of melanoma:
Superficial spreading melanoma is the most common type of melanoma (60-70% of cases). It is usually flat and irregular in shape and color with varying shades of black and brown. It may occur at any age or site and is most common in Caucasians.
Nodular melanoma (15% of cases) usually starts as a raised area that is dark black-blue or bluish-red, however some can lack color.
Lentigo maligna melanoma (5% of cases) usually occurs in the elderly. It is most common in sun damaged skin on the face, neck, and arms. The abnormal skin areas are usually large, flat, and tan with intermixed areas of brown.
Acral lentiginous melanoma is the LEAST COMMON form of melanoma. It usually occurs on the palms, soles, or under the nails. It is MORE COMMON IN AFRICAN AMERICAN.
