Hi, I have just noticed a mole like thing on near the sole of my foot, its about 5mm shaped like a tear only the slightest bit raised and I know it wasn't there a week ago. What could this be?
Many thanks

Hello,
It can be a mole. If you notice changes in the mole's/mark’s color, height, size or shape, you should have a dermatologist evaluate it. You also should have it checked if it bleeds, oozes, itches, appear scaly, or become tender or painful.Otherwise it should be left as such.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
