I have a red growth on a place that gets absolutely NO sun exposure. Can you get skin cancer in places like these? Thanks.

Yes. "Melanoma is a cancer that begins in melanocytes, the cells that produce the pigment melanin that colors the skin, hair, and eyes, as well as forms moles. Since most of these pigment cells are found in the skin, melanoma of the skin (cutaneous melanoma) is the most common form of melanoma. However, melanoma can develop in the eye, digestive tract, brain or spinal cord, or other areas where melanocytes are found." (http://www.melanoma.org/learn-more/melanoma-101/facts-and-information-about-melanoma-melanoma-101) It can form in places that are never exposed to the sun. If you think something looks different, go to a dermatologist and get it checked out.

This is a video about the detection of circulating melanoma cells in the Viator lab. This is the local video.
