As a charity, we are expanding our efforts beyond traditional discussions of solely sun-related skin cancers. What is acral melanoma and what causes it? Acral melanoma typically manifests on the soles of the feet, palms of the hands or beneath the nails, explains Dr Ross Perry, a skin cancer specialist, GP, and medical director at Cosmedics Skin Clinics UK.
