Does anyone here have freckles / pigmentation on the soles of their feet? I have one in the palm of my hand but that's been there forever and it's fine.
I recently found two marks on the sole of my foot. The one on my right foot is a little larger but still small and is lighter ... I can see it mostly when the skin of my foot is wet. The one of my other foot is teeny tiny but it's like little dark brown speckles. They don't look like ordinary freckles / moles just some kind of weird mark on the skin.
I went to see a GP who specializes in skin he looked at the larger one and kind of blew me off and said I didn't need to follow up. He hardly looked at it and he said he could hardly see it. I told him it's definitely there (plus I been picking at it so it's healing over) ... anyway because I felt so dismissed I felt stupid showing him the much smaller but darker one with the dark specks so I left it.
So I'm just really worried I have melanoma of the foot because I don't think i've seen these marks before. I heard that freckles / marks on soles are bad and I am terrified I have acral melanoma - and deadliest of all melanomas and it's more predominant in asians and I am asian!
Does anyone have freckles or marks on soles of their feet that are o.k? On top of all this I feel like a freak to have markings in weird places that people don't get!
*feeling really depressed and anxious*
