How would you manage this pigmented lesion on the back?

In this week's case discussion from Dr Terry Harvey, we look at a flat 8x9mm pigmented lesion found on a 45-year-old male patient who presents for a follow-up skin check following the diagnosis of a 2.4mm Breslow melanoma on his left arm.

He is unaware of this lesion located on his back.

What do you think of the dermoscopy image, and what would you do next?

Please leave your comments today and check back for the outcome from Wednesday at 2.00pm AEDT (1.00pm AEST).
