What is Melanoma?

  1. Most dangerous skin growth evolving from flat or raised pigmentation

  2. A benign growth

  3. A type of rash caused by heat

  4. Translucent nodules

The correct answer is: Most dangerous skin growth evolving from flat or raised pigmentation

Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that develops from abnormal growth of pigment cells, or melanocytes. This serious skin condition commonly appears as a dark, muddled growth that can be flat or raised. It is not a benign growth, unlike option B, which means it is not harmless and can have significant health consequences. Option C is incorrect because it describes a rash, rather than a type of skin cancer. Finally, option D is incorrect because melanoma does not appear as translucent nodules.
