Spot on foot I’m worried about

Hello, I am a 32 year old male, with a spot near the bottom of my big toe. It is pretty small, but the color and the border has me slightly concerned. It almost seems like a freckle, cannot feel it by touch at all, but I am A little worried. I have an appointment next week with a dermatologist.

  1. Hey . I definitely understand why you feel worried, but you're taking the right precautions in having this checked out! Hoping you get good news at your appointment next week. Please let us know how everything goes, we'll be thinking of you. -Julie (team member)

    1. ...I am glad you are being proactive and doing those self-checks! I agree with Julie--it's best to make an appointment and get a dermatologist to give it the once over and biopsy if they see a need. I am including an article with some important information on the hallmarks of skin cancer. It sounds like you are already pretty well-versed in those.

      The spot does remind me of blood blisters I have had when I pinched my skin, but it didn't break the skin. A dermatologist can definitely rule that out for you.


      Wishing you all the best! Keep us posted!
