It has been reported that some patients have been misdiagnosed with Sebaceous Hyperplasia, when in fact the correct diagnosis in their specific case was Skin Cancer (melanoma).
Melanoma has a high success in treatment rate because it is usually diagnosed and treated before it is spread. Treatment is mainly focused on removing the malignant mole and sometimes killed with low-dose radiation. Diagnosis is typically done via a biopsy of the suspected growth.
