Posted on Sun, 19 May 2019

Question: My son a black area/black dots on outside of heel on left foot. He says it is painful when runs in his cleats at practice every day. Is it blood trapped under surface of skin? Fungus? Melanoma? Wart? Thanks!

Brief Answer: XXXXXXX nois, due to blood under the skin

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and reviewed the attached photographs.
It seems to be XXXXXXX noir.
It is intraepidermal harmorrhage in the skin associated with minor trauma.
It is a harmless self healing condition.
You can consult a doctor and go for paring of the affected area.
This will cause faster resolution.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
