Melanoma

Hello guys,

yesterday i was checking the bottom of my feet when i noticed these small brown spots and one of them isn't really a circle it's more like a straight oval type. Me having health anxiety i'm so scared this is skin cancer and i don't know what to do. I've read online that Malenoma is the deadliest skin cancer and i'm only 20. i also have athletes foot but i don't know if that has anything to do with it but i remember one or two of the spots have been there for a while but i don't remember one of the other ones. i'm terribly scared because i don't want to think it's cancer but something is telling me it is.

  • Hi,

    I can understand your worry but it's not necessarily melanoma. There are several foot problems it could be, acral melanoma is very rare and you are very young so there is more chance it's something easily treatable. Get your GP to take a look and I'm sure they will put your mind at rest.

    Good luck,

    Angie (Stage 3 melanoma patient since 2009)
