A Black Mole Suddenly Appeared On The Sole Of My Foot

[gordiescotland1]

HI there
I have a black mole that has suddenly appeared on the sole of my foot. It has come from nowhere never had a mole there before. Im going to see GP tomorrow and resisting the urge to google but feeling somewhat disconcerted. Anyone had one before that just appeared.

no... no chance it's just a drop of oil you've stepped in or something?

I was wondering if it might be a verucca that has got a bit of dirt on it.

[ChillDoubt]

Sounds like a nevus. If it's appeared literally overnight you're doing the right thing by going to the GP but don't worry yourself unnecessarily:

Probably nothing but its always worth getting it checked out by a GP

[corylus]

How often do you inspect the soles of your feet, do you use a mirror?

I'm with Cloverjo, sound like a verruca.

Sqad will know!

Verrucas can have a black mark in the middle I Think ...

sounds like a blood blister, the kind where blood vessels break and make a pool of blood under the skin.

Do get the doc to check it out. I have a mole on my foot and it's checked regularly - I am told that moles on the feet are OK unless they turn nasty, so you are wise to get it checked out.

[Sqad]

No big deal as it is nothing serious or life threatening.

gordie........are you a diabetic?...........just thought!

I also have one on the sole of my foot. Have had it as long as I can remember. I just keep a check on it from time to time just to make sure it doesn't change.

[AlwaysConfused]

as woofgang said - it sounds like a blood blister, they can appear very quickly and look a bit menacing. Pop to the docs anyway to eliminate any baddies

I took a photo of mine, just so I could see if it changed shape or colour. So far, so good :-)

[Pete65]

I dont think Gordie does replies!

[gordiescotland1]

Yes I am type 2 diabetic but no problems with feet so far. I am making an appt tomorrow
