Black bruise looking marks on big toe

I've recently had two black bruise looking marks appear on both my big toes. They're painless and black in colour. I do not remember causing any trauma to my toes. I have seen the gp who is sending a picture off to a dermatologist. I have had a look online what I can see  online and it says it could be a number of things one in which could be melanoma. I am also having bloods taken in a weeks time but I am very concerned.

 

any advise would be great, thank you 

  • Hi Jess_I,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. It's hard to advise on this, but you've done the right thing in seeing the GP. Hopefully it won't be too long to wait until you get the answers you need for this. While waiting it is best to avoid looking it up online as it's not possible to self-diagnose and sometimes doing this can lead to further worries.

    I hope you find out more soon. Wishing you all the best,
