Brief Answer:
Looks to be fungal but needs to rule out melanoma
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your feedback and fresh photos.
This looks to be a fungal infection but needs Melanoma to be ruled out as soon as possible.
May need excision biopsy and further evaluation for confirmatory diagnosis so that a proper management can be done.
Please consult a Dermatologist or a General Surgeon for proper valuation, investigations and proper management.
I hope this answer helps you.
Please give follow up of the investigations and management.
With Regards.
