: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you. It would be prudent to consult your doctor to ascertain if the lesion needs to excised so the tissue could be examined by a pathologist.
Wish you good health!

: This public information site does not allow us to see any uploaded pictures/x-rays/lab. That is a feature of some affiliated HealthTap pay sites via www.connect@healthtap.com. Skin issues usually require a good set of photos or a direct exam.

Question 4

are flat warts on feet dangerous? will freckles turn to warts?

Accepted Answer

Not dangerous: Flat warts usually remain painless and cause no important health problems, but sometimes those on the sole of the feet can become larger &quot;plantar warts&quot;, which can be painful and more difficult to threat. If in doubt, see a doctor, preferably a dermatologist. Freckles do not become warts or vice versa; they are entirely different from one another.

Question 5

is it normal for a small freckle to appear on the top of your foot?

Accepted Answer

See MD: Best to see MD or Dermatologist to check. How long present and has the "freckle" changed? 
Any family history of skin problems or skin cancer?

Question 6

please explain what does freckle like spots on the tops of feet mean?

Accepted Answer

Sunspots: Solar lentigos. Going barefoot / wearing sandals even for a bit will do this. Don't worry about it. Watch your skin here as you do everywhere for signs of melanoma.

Question 7

i suddenly started getting these light brwn freckles along the outer edge of my feet.they dont feel like anything but its slowly starting to cover my?

Accepted Answer

Sun exposure?: If they are covering both feet (?) symmetrically- they may be sun spots from sun exposure. If you havent been exposed to the sun and these are new findings, go have them looked at

Question 8

why is it that i have a freckle on the bottom of my foot?

Accepted Answer

It is not unusual: Please get it checked by a skin specialist(dermatologist) as it can be a melanoma which does occur on the sole of foot.. Also keep an eye on it and check if it changes in size or color.That would make it suspect to be a melanoma which needs to be removed by a surgeon.

Question 9

i noticed a small freckle on the top of my foot...should i be conc r ned?

Accepted Answer

Small freckle : can be of concern depending on the size of it or if you have a history or skin cancer. Best to have a foot doctor or dermatologist check it out!

Question 10

hi,

i have recently developed athletes foot and a small brown freckle has appeared on the sole of my foot! is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Athletes foot: is a type of fungus that will cause small blisters on the bottom surface of the feet. these can break open and when they dry a discolored spot will appear until it heals.  Most important is for you to get seen by a Podiatrist for a correct diagnosis and treatment so your feet can heal up!
