This is the most common form of melanoma in Asians and Blacks. The average age at diagnosis is between sixty years-of-age and seventy. It also occurs in Caucasians and in young people. This type of melanoma occurs on non hair baring surfaces of the body which may or may not be exposed to sun light. Typical symptoms include: longitudinal tan, black, or brown streak on a finger or toe nail (melanonychia striata) pigmentation of proximal nail fold areas of dark pigmentation on palms of hands or soles of feet Any new area of pigmentation or an existing one that shows change should be checked by a dermatologist.
