Suspicious moles on the soles of the foot are concerning and require at least a physical examination. A biopsy may be warranted. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

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 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
