how does Melanoma kill you?

Question

I understand it’s still a cancer but to me it doesn’t seem the same as cancers that affect certain specific organs. Why is it so deadly? I understand how liver, lung, or colon cancer can kill so quickly, but your skin doesn’t necessarily hold the same level of delicacy as other organs.

You can cut or scrape skin regularly and it heals very well, but if you cut or scrape your colon or rectum that’s a major medical emergency. How is melanoma considered one of the deadliest cancers in that context?
