Hello, I noticed a few months ago a bruise-like spot above my rear. It hasn't changed sizes or anything, but it's still there. The thing is it looks like a bruise, but it can't be a bruise after all this time. It's not raised at all, and as far as I can remember I never had an actual mole there. But what is it then? Could it be a melanoma? Should I have it checked out?

I uploaded a picture of it here:

Hi - anything that worries you should be checked with a doctor. There is no way that adequate diagnosis can be made from a photo on the internet.
