Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am concerned about this lesion on my son's foot. It has been there for a couple months and it is not going away. Can this be some type of melanoma (acral)?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Single lesion or any other also present?

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Single but there is a lesion looking like a wart developing.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It is not melanoma, it is plantar wart only. Go for LASER or removal by electrofulgration. Other topical methods like Podowart lotion and Duofilm lotion are also there but it is a long process with no guarantee of cure.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
