Melanoma is a dangerous skin cancer that can spread quickly. Here’s how it travels through the bloodstream:

- Starts in the skin – Melanoma grows from pigment cells (melanocytes).
- Breaks into deeper layers – It pushes through the skin into tissue and blood vessels.
- Gets into the bloodstream – Cancer cells enter nearby blood vessels.
- Travels to other organs – The blood carries these cells to places like the lungs, liver, or brain.
- Forms new tumors – Once there, the cancer can grow and spread even more.

🩸 That’s why early detection is so important. Check your skin and get your spots checked!

Subungual melanoma is a rare but serious type of skin cancer that occurs under the fingernails or toenails. It is most often found in the thumb or big toe.

Appearance:
A dark streak (brown or black) that runs vertically along the nail.
The pigment may spread to the cuticle or surrounding skin (a sign called Hutchinson's sign).
The nail may become damaged, deformed, or detached.

Easiest way to tell if Subungual Melanoma is to get your skin and nails checked!
