Malanoma on the foot?

Hope not, but maybe: Melanoma is a serious form of skin cancer killing many every year, however if caught early it is entirely curable. Sunburn increases & sunscreens (probably) reduce risk. Melanoma can occur anywhere on your skin, even on your foot; it does not need to arise from an existing mole. Given high cure rates if found early, your doctor should look at any suspicious lesion (and if doubt -> dermatologist!).

Melanoma: 15 years ago, the incidence of melanoma was one in 15, 000. Now it's 1 in 1500! it's one of the deadliest cancers. Given these numbers, any mole, new area of pigmentation, sore that doesn't heal absolutely must be evaluated for melanoma. Dr. Weiss is right!

Can happen: Any dark spot on the skin of the foot or rarely as a line in the nail may represent a melanoma. Especially if has not "always" bee there or if it changes in size or shape.

Melanoma: Ominous finding. Get it checked and removed asap.

A,B,C,D,E of skin lesions: Look for the following in any skin lesion: a- assymetry of the skin lesion b- border changes or bleeding c- color changes, ie: varigation d- diameter changes e- elevation of the lesion any of these changes or just for peace of mind...See you pcp, dermatologist or podiatrist.

Asymmetry, borders and color. If the lesion is asymmetrical, has irregular borders and color variations it makes it more suspicious. A biopsy may be needed.

Malignant Cancer: Hello, Out of the three skin cancers noted along the lower extremity, Squamous Cell, Basal Cell, and Melanoma, Melanoma is a cancer that can metastasize to other parts of the body. A biopsy can reveal the depth and penetration ( see Clark levels) and the staging can determine the prognosis and survival. Time is of the essence and a multidisciplinary team will greatly augment treatment.
