What Amelanotic About to

Amelanotic melanoma is a rare type of melanoma that lacks melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. As a result, amelanotic melanomas can be difficult to diagnose, as they may not appear as dark or pigmented as other types of melanoma. Amelanotic melanomas can occur anywhere on the body, but they are most commonly found on the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet, and the genitals.
