What Does A Small Black Spot Under The Big Toe Nail Indicate?
I have an appointment with a dermatologist next week to look at a spot on my skin that is a little abnormal. I noticed last week that I have a small black spot under my big toe nail and near the cuticle. I also have a brownish colored spot on the other toenail. I plan on showing the doctor but was curious on what it could be. Melanoma was the last thing I thought it could be... but now worried.

Hello,
Possibility of an acral melanoma must be ruled out.
consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
A biopsy is required to make a diagnosis.
