I had a tiny (1 mm) light brown spot removed from the bottom of my foot near the instep, in May (of this year), about 4 months ago. My dermatologist said it was nothing but since he knows I have anxiety about skin cancer and would worry about it, he scraped it off. He did not biopsy it or take a wide margin, basically he scraped it off and threw it away and said to put it out of my mind.
Now it looks like it is coming back! There is a tiny light brown area, like a freckle, in the area where he scraped off the other spot. I would not have noticed it, it is a very pale brown, but was pumicing my feet.
I have recently moved and must wait three months before an appt with a new dermatologist.
I have in the past accidentally shaved off part or some of a mole or freckle and sometimes they have grown back, could this be what is happening here? He didn't cut it out deep enough?
I have gone for regular skin checks every six months for the last 10 years or so, I am currently 38. I have fair skin, freckly, several moles but none atypical, brown hair, hazel eyes, female.
