Question 5

i have small white dots of skin on bottom of my foot in multiple spots. dots have small holes, and holes aren't deep. it's not painful. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Athlete's foot : Is the first thing i would suspect. The fungi eat skin, and can leave holes. Tinea pedis (to sound nerdy) is easily fixed with a topical anti fungal, such as tolnaftate. Go for the generics, they're cheaper.

Have you changed what your feet see? Walking on hot sand barefoot? New flip flops? If there's anything new, try changing back.

If these don't work, and the problem persists, see a doctor.

Question 7

what to do if i'm 17 years old and just today i noticed small brown spots on the top of my foot?

Accepted Answer

Spots: The first right thing to do is see your podiatrist as it could be broken vessels with blood leaking into the surrounding tissue or it could be a fungal infection.  It is impossible to say without seeing the foot , which is exactly why you need to see your podiatrist .

Question 8

i have got a hole on my foot for more than a year now no wider then 4mm. thought it might be a verruca but only has a couple of black spots.helpplease?

Accepted Answer

See dermatologist: Need exam for diagnosis. Need diagnosis for treatment strategy, if any. A single hole? Bottom of foot in callous? Pain? Bleeding?

Question 9

i have two brown/orange spots on the bottom of my foot. they almost looks like stains and like they're under the skin. there is no pain or hardness.

Accepted Answer

Lesion: You just noticed this? Are they connected, or two distinct? Is the border(s) irregular, or smooth. Any color changes since first noticed? Size larger than about 1/4 inch? You should see a doctor-primary, dermatologist, podiatrist-to determine if a biopsy is necessary.

Question 10

i have a brown mark kind of circular shaped under my big toenail for the past 4 months which hasn't gotten any bigger or smaller which has 3 black spots inside the brown mark and i was wondering what it could be. i've had no injury to my foot at all?

Accepted Answer

Need examination : Lesions that present themselves under toenails need to be examined. I would go to your family doctor or if you have a podiatrist that you see.  Biopsy might be required to help diagnose the lesion.
