What Causes A Large Brown Spot On The Top Of The Foot?
I have a quite large brown spot on the top of my foot, it is not painful, not raised, almost looks like a very large freckle or birth/beauty mark, I am on medication for recent back surgery, also on the bottom of my right toe, another spot? What is this and is it something to be concerned about?
