Mole(?) between toes (photo)

K
kdavies05Dec 29, 2016

I've had this mole(?) between my two toes for at least 10 years. No changes other than when it gets wet it gets flakey. I had a biopsy done as a precaution but with the holidays hearing anything back is taking forever! I did notice when I had to put polysporin on it after the biopsy it seemed to lighten a bit. It's never bled or gotten itchy. Never really grown.

Moles on the feet are of concern if they are changing or suspicious in character. I would suggest a biopsy to help clear the worry.  Best,  Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

I recently had a mole removed the anesthetic hasn't worn off after 7.5 hours. The site is still completely numb. Is this normal?

I would suggest massaging the area. It may be that the doctor used a long acting anesthetic that can sometimes take 18 hours to resolve. If the numbness does not go away, call your surgeon. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Many thanks for your question. I would recommend you see a skin specialist, whether that be a plastic surgeon or dermatologist, for assessment in person. Your photos alone are not sufficient to offer you a definitive diagnosis. All the very best, Jonathan Adamthwaite

Freckles can be improved with lasers, microneedling/prp and peels. Moles can be removed with lasers, radiowave and shave. Cost will vary and take a series of treatments for improvement. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer
