Dark spots or new moles appearing on the soles of the feet.
Skin that thickens, cracks, or bleeds.
Nail lifting or separating from the nail bed without trauma.
Why It Matters:
Melanoma can appear on the soles of the feet, between the toes, or under the toenails, especially in people with darker skin tones. Delays in diagnosis can make the condition harder to treat.
When to See a Doctor?
If you notice any of these nail or foot changes that persist for weeks, it’s essential to see a healthcare provider for evaluation. Early detection of cancer significantly improves treatment outcomes.
Seek Medical Attention If You Experience:
✅ Unexplained dark lines under the nails.
✅ Swelling or curving of the nails (clubbing).
✅ Persistent white streaks or brittle nails.
✅ Sores or discoloration on the feet that don’t heal.
