Can a wart like lesion on foot be melanoma?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

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)?

Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Single lesion or any other also present?

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for your reply.

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.

Thank you.
