Rule out melanoma: It might be a blood blister caused by trauma or a splinter or sharp object puncturing your foot. Or it may be something more serious. You need to see a dermatologist or other doctor to make sure it's not a melanoma.

Black spot: The black spot is concerning me. It is possible to have melanoma and that needs to be checked. It is also possible it's a hematoma. Stay off it due to pain and get check. Fracture in area coils cause the dark spot too.
