Also called Acral lentiginous melanoma, acral melanoma, melanoma on the palm, melanoma on the sole, melanoma under a nail.
In short
Acral melanoma is waiting on sign-off from a doctor, so this page carries no safety ratings. What it does carry is the background reading and the named medical sources behind it.
