A member asked:
My dermatologist found a new brown spot (about 3mm) on the arch of my foot 2 weeks ago. she said it didn't have any concerning features. today it is completely gone. should i be concerned that she missed something serious?

Your dermatologist was good when detecting that small lesion and you should trust her if she was not concerned about it. You should be happy because the lesion resolves spontaneously.

The fact that the lesion disappeared confirms the dermatologist’s original opinion as being a benign lesion and should have brought you peace of mind.
