A member asked:

Ive got a black dot quite a bit smaller than that that has just appeared on the skin of my thumb on the finger. it isnt due to an injury. it is symmetrical. is it ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mysterious dot?: A small, mysterious black dot on the skin of a college-aged person's thumb is usually one of those wait-and-see situations. It could be a new mole, which will not peel away. It could be temporary (for whatever reason) and thus peel away as the upper layers of skin age and shed. A video consultation on HealthTap can help figure this out. However, an in-person exam helps the most.
