Does a mark on the back and a black spot on the toenail indicate skin cancer?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and understood your concern.

Please send clear pictures of your back with the mark to properly evaluate the problem.

I hope this information will help you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have studied the pictures,(attachments removed to protect patient privacy) and it does not appear to be related to cancer. It appears to be a fungal infection of the toenail. Do you have any other symptoms like itching, peeling of the skin, etc.? Have you used any medications? The picture of the back is taken very close. A picture taken from a distance, which shows surrounding normal areas of skin may help in further evaluation. The pictures of the scalp will also help in further evaluation.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.

Hi,

Glad to have you back!

I am here to help you get the best medical advice.

Skin cancers are more common in the exposed parts of the body. They are usually painless and symptomless in the initial stages. But slowly, they can develop into itchy, painful spots, non-healing sores, crusts, bleeding, red, rough, scaly lesions, etc. Please observe for any of the symptoms mentioned above. As of now, they appear to be nonspecific skin lesions. These lesions are not related to the toe fungal infection. Apply a few drops of coconut oil to the toenails daily so that fungal infection is prevented.

Thank you.
