Hi! I've had a mole on the sole of my foot since birth, recently I noticed it's became paler and when I squeeze the area around it, it turns purple/red.. do I have anything to be concerned about? It probably looks more like a blister when pressure is applied around it. I will be seeing a doctor asap but that probably won't be until next week since it's new year this weekend! Thank you.

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
