A 37-year-old Afro-Caribbean woman comes to see her GP after undergoing a recent minor surgical procedure a few months ago to remove a skin lesion. She complains of a change in the consistency and texture of her skin over the site of the surgical scar. She says it has become a lot darker in colour and feels smooth but firm to touch. She also mentions that the scar is now larger than it was immediately after the procedure.
