Melanoma
Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer. Often the first sign of melanoma is a change in the size, shape, color, or feel of a mole. Most melanomas have a black or black-blue area. Melanoma may also appear as a new mole. It may be black, abnormal, or "ugly looking."Thinking of "ABCDE" can help you remember what to watch for: Asymmetry - the shape of one half does not match the other Border - the edges are ragged, blurred or irregular Color - the color is uneven and may include shades of black, brown and tan Diameter - there is a change in size, usually an increaseEvolving - the mole has changed over the past few weeks or monthsSurgery is the first treatment of all stages of melanoma. Other treatments include chemotherapy and radiation, biologic, and targeted therapies. Biologic therapy boosts your body's own ability to fight cancer. Targeted therapy uses substances that attack cancer cells without harming normal cells.NIH: National Cancer Institute

The patient came to me with the complaint of severe itching and discharge from the eruptions on the left forearm. The patient had multiple scattered red eruptions on the left arm. *Chief Complaints* Oozing of transparent,watery fluid from some of the vesicles. No smell from the discharge. *History* It all started when the patient got wet in rain 5 days back . As the patient had recently got this tattoo on his arm ,it was advised to keep it dry but due to some circumstances the patient got wet .Since then the eruptions appear on the arm and he also got fever . He was advised for citrezene by a doctor but got no relief .Now the major problem with this patient is extensive itching and the appearance of the hand. *Vitals* Temp 99.2° F Pulse 74 R.R 14 B.P 124/82 *Physical Examination* No swelling of the hand No erythema Skin moist *Management* I gave him Rhus tox 30 bds And now i m waiting for the eruptions to fade away. Then i m planning to start with Hepar suplh to dry up. Dear Drs, Correct me if I'm wrong and please advice me regarding the selection of remedy and its dosage.
