General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi and welcome to hcm.
If you are talking about histologically confirmed melanoma then if there is 7 of them,this means very serious condition and severe cancer spreading. Melanomas wont disappear spontaneously. It must be treated agressively by surgery and chemotherapy. Wish you good health.regards
