Is A Dark Spot On Foot A Symptom Of Skin Cancer?
Question: I have a dark spot on my foot, i think i got a cut months ago but the spot has remained, i just want to rule out skin cancer, or anything similar?
Brief Answer:
not cancer
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You are concerned about a lesion on your foot that appeared about 1-2 months ago after a cut. The image you uploaded looks like a chronic open sore and not a cancer. I would recommend covering the area with a bandage to help prevent further irritation. Don't use any creams or ointments as they may cause allergic reactions.
