Compared to other cancers, melanoma may seem fairly straightforward. But there’s more to this disease than meets the eye. Many melanomas don’t require immediate treatment and can go away on its own. You can develop melanoma even if you’ve never had sun damage. Most melanoma does not start in a preexisting mole. Melanoma can be colorless.
