My Current Numerous Worries

[Stu1980]

Hi Helen

I have exactly the same mole/freckle on my foot. I freaked out ! I was told that it is a parallel furrow mole (which are found on the hands and soles of feet typically and are harmless pigmentation) the pigment distributes itself in the furrows of the skin, as the surface of the skin on the hands and feet are different. Obviously nobody can take diagnose over a forum but I used to get so obsessed with the one on my foot and watched it grow and settle before breaking down in the doctors office. Look at my other posts on moles if that helps :-)

All the best
Stu

Go on the meds now

This palm one is new but around a year old. I watched it develop but has stayed this size for 8 months.

The thumb photo is new, not sure if it's a freckle or blood blister?

Yep I've got these on my hands and feet, I have a yearly check so know they are fine. Freckles and moles pop up now and again, especially as we age, they can even grow but are benign (non cancerous). After I've had my yearly check, I don't worry about them. Not worth mentioning them to your partner (or child).

I gave advice about stained nails from polish and in it I said to not use nail polish at the moment, use oil on the nail and see if it grows out as a stain will do - however, clearly immediately you've covered it back with nail polish

There's new nail polish on the latest thread re: Freckles

It's more because I've had an ache in my ankle all week when I walk that started in top of foot and now I'm worried it could be bone cancer from one of these freckles/melanomas?

[BlueIris]

I'm really sorry, Helen, but what are you on right now? Freckles/melanomas? This is utterly ludicrous.

We have requested many times that when you are flitting from one thing to another that you stick to one thread.

I will now be merging your threads.

Use your self help techniques and start your meds.

Trouble is that the OP sees using NMP as a "self help" technique.

[Carys]

I agree Pulisa.

I'm now shaking regarding this ankle ache as it looks slightly more swollen than the other foot. I've read bone cancers cause swelling and pain moving, this all started in Monday. I'm at work and taking a break in the stock looking at my feet room because I'm panicking. Can bone cancer come on so quickly. The ache was initially in top of foot and moved to ankle later in the week.
