 Possible Skin Cancer Under Toenail ... Positive that it's not a bruise!
Hello All,
I am a concerned boyfriend of a young woman who has had a large black/brown spot under her toenail for the last 6 months. She went to a dermatologist a couple of months ago who told her to take a picture and get back to him if it changed in a couple of months. In the past 6 weeks she has developed another on the same toe (big toe) on her other foot. The spots seem to come from no where.
She recently saw a family doctor who directly called a different dermatologist to try to set up an appointment for her. He said it was definitely not a bruise and could be a sign of a degenerative heart condition or melanoma.
I am currently abroad and extremely uneasy as I lost my father to melanoma. Any advice, experience, or insight into this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you and God bless.
