Hey, I'm a 20 years old, male, about 2 weeks ago I found suspicious moles around the 5mm that have appeared on the bottom of my foot.
At first couldn't tell it was a mole – assumed my hygiene was rather poor and whatever it is will come off in the shower – it didn't.
noticed they were moles and proceeded to visit my Dermatologist.She said they are infact moles – but as of now nothing to be too worried about. Keep track.
(mind you, the ABCD of Melanoma , all applied to the moles.)
Which, I definitely have – They started to shrink, rapidly. every night, they got smaller and smaller – I started marking the area at which they used to be at just so I'll be able to keep proper track.
One is almost gone, the other is still sizeable tho definitely following its partner.
as they started shrinking – dots appeared underneath one of mmy Toenails, great.
I am an extremely paranoid being, ever since I found out these were moles i've been all over the place. and now with the very limited resourced I do have and the fact they are 'regressing' so rapidly and new spots appear underneath my toe – and the fact as I write this there's no available professional for me to visit – what should I think of this?
How serious could this be?The last thing I want is this to be cancer , and if it is cancer, The last thing I want is for it to travel around and spread.
Processing this is a handful and I really do want to understand whats going on and over my body.
I do have pictures that keep track of the regression.
Any opinions? 🙁

The only thing to do is get it checked again. Again. Again. Get a second derm to look at it. A third. Explain how it transformed. Bring your pics. Continue to take pics. Get it checked again. Remember: caught early, melanoma is highly curable. I just said: curable. about 95-98%. Get it checked until satisfied. If it’s nothing, you’ll be glad. If it’s caught early, you’ll be glad too. Good luck
