I noticed the very recent appearance of an odd dark "freckle" blotch, about the circum. of a small pimple, on the left inside of my mouth (left cheek).
There is a little bit of soreness in this same area when I brush. I've looked at the dark blotch with a flashlight, and it just looks how a regular freckle might look on the surface of the skin.
My concern, though, is that I have somewhat fair skin and reside in Arizona, and have in the past spent several hours in the Sun (I rarely wear sunscreen).
Could this dark freckle possibly be melanoma, or just a benign freckle inside the mouth?
