Hi ratiman,

definitely have that checked by a dermatologist. When I was 28, 3 years ago, I had a melanoma in-situ removed from my hip. It was a dark mole on my hip that I ignored for probably 5 to 6 years. I finally had it checked and luckily I caught it early. If you catch this type of skin cancer early, it is curable. Chances are what you have is benign, but if it's not, remember, you catch it early, it's curable. Don't wait. Just put your mind at ease and have it checked out. I'm thankful every day of my life that I went in when I did. Good luck and let me know what you decide.

Only if it starts growing...
Well I dont think its it cause I checked up benign. My weird unremovable stain is half a centimeter. Also on the bottom of my toe. Maybe its not that serious ,its kinda of weird but I dont think its benign. I dont have it on my nail, it dosent look like the ones I saw on the description that red stuff. Ill feel so foolish cause its most likely nothing for now, if I see it growing then ill get it checked out. Also even if it was benign I heard its harmless will probably not infect any other place its already infected. So if its half a centimeter long and not growing its most likely harmless.

It doesn't seem to be a melanoma. I think you should stay calm.

However, remember to look at it regularly and notice any type of changes. If it does start to change you should go to the dermatologist asap.

Also make sure it doesn't rub against your shoe...It is very sensitive to injuries and they may turn it into a cancer.

Good luck!

Go to a dermatologist and have it checked out. You'll feel a lot better if it's nothing.

I just went for a mole check a couple of weeks ago and had one suspicious spot on my back scraped. It came back as a melanoma, stage ia. I went back, had additional tissue around it cut out. I have a 99% chance of survival.

Don't take any chances with this thing. They do show up on toes, under nails, on bottoms of feet.
