I heard a story of a woman who had a
unremovable stain on her big toe and had
to have it removed cause she didnt treat
it.
I have the same thing on my fourth toe a
stain that is dark brown that wont come
out.
Plus it wont will not come of, and its is
blurred dark brown, ragged its like a
unstraightened line. Could it be
melonoma?

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.
Crystal

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!

Check It Out Posted: 09-14-05 20:59pm
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.
