Carbon stain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carbon stains are a skin condition characterized by a discoloration of the skin from embedded carbon, usually occurring in children from careless use of firearms or firecrackers, or from puncture wound by a pencil, which may leave a permanent black mark of embedded graphite, easily mistaken for metastatic melanoma.[1]:47
