Hi all

Has anyone ever come across melanoma presenting as shingles? Would appreciate contact with anyone who has? 

Thanks

  • Hi  

    My melanoma didn't present as shingles but it wasn't the typical mole gone bad either, but an amelanotic melanoma.

    I've searched the group using the word 'shingles' but haven't found any previous posts which mention it I'm afraid.

    I had a look at your profile before replying, to see if you've been diagnosed with melanoma or if you're just worried that your shingles may be melanoma, but you haven't completed it yet. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
