Red/brown mark on toe. Skin cancer worry.

Cancer

Hello, 

I am posting on here as I am concerned about a coloured patch on my little toe (just underneath my nail on the skin not under). It dates back to about 4 weeks ago when I wore some boots without socks and my little toe became rubbed and raw. I thought it would heal quite quickly as most blisters do however this one has stuck around and is now a ruddy brown colour. I only looked at it properly this monrning and noticed the change in colour then. I am now worried about it as it has not gone away and has gone brown which I’m concerned could mean it is sinister? (Melanoma). Would melanoma present like this?. It is flat and about 1x1 centimetre in size. I’m hoping it is just taking  Time to heal but Any help with this would be appreciated thank you.

Hello

For things like this advice is hard to give. You really need to take a trip to your family physician. Personally I doubt it will be found to be skin cancer

Best wishes

Go.to a foot.doctor sounds like blood under the toe mail which could mean a fungus not cancer related.
