Question : Hi, I have two round spots (about 1/4 inch in size each) in the bottom of my foot. They are round, dark red, and both under skin. They have been there for more than a year. I have an image of them. I'd like to check them out but I don't even know which type of doctor to see. I have shown them to my family doctor and he cannot tell either.
