A dark coloured patch on the sole of the foot that has developed recently may be due to bleeding into the tissues of the foot or a tumour.
I would advise you to show it to a dermatologist (skin specialist) so that you can be told exactly what is going on. Sometimes, although rarely, the doctor may need to take some tissue and send it to the lab just to be sure.
