Suggest Treatment For Slight Discoloration On The Foot

Hello. Today while outside I noticed a huge light spot on the top of my right foot. My skin is dark complexion. It looks as though someone splashed bleached on my foot. It has no certain shape. It s not completely white but definitely lighter than my skin tone. What could this be? Scares me.

Hello,

It is necessary to see a picture of the discoloration in order to be more precise for the answer.

However, a possible condition is an infection of the skin (most likely fungal). You should be seen by a dermatologist for this problem.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Erion Spaho, Neurologist
