Malignant melanoma in darker-skinned individuals often develops on less sun-exposed areas, such as the palms, soles, or under the nails, and may appear as a dark, irregular patch, which can be more challenging to detect due to the skin’s natural pigmentation. While melanoma is less common in darker-skinned individuals, it tends to be diagnosed at a more advanced stage, making early detection crucial for better outcomes. Treatment typically involves surgical excision of the tumour, and in advanced cases, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, or radiation may be used to control the spread of the cancer.
