Suggest Treatment For Spreading Bruise On Small Toe

my friend has a small bruise on the small toe of her foot. The bruise appears to be spreading where it now covers the entire toe and is moving to the bottom and top of the foot. The strange thing is that she did not hit it or drop anything on it (nothing done to injury it) and there is no pain. What could it be?

Hello,

Acral lentiginous melanoma can simulate a bruise. You need to visit a dermatologist for a physical whether it is actually a bruise or something else.

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

Take care
