Hello, it is a good idea to do a self-examination of your skin as you have done, since this can help detect certain abnormal lesions that can sometimes turn out to be early-stage skin cancer. You say that you noticed a "mole measuring 6-7 mm" on your feet. It is possible that it has been present for several years and that it is completely normal. However, I will give you some examples of situations where it would be worthwhile to have the lesion examined by a doctor to detect the presence of a pre-cancerous or cancerous lesion. Skin cancer usually appears as an abnormal area or change anywhere on the skin. It can appear as...
-a mole (which may bleed, ooze or crust) that changes color, size or shape - a lump or area that is itchy, irritated or sore - rough or scaly red patches - small, smooth, shiny masses that are pearly white, flat areas of pale white or yellow color that look like scars - raised masses with a sunken center If you have any doubts about the evolution of this mole, it is worthwhile to have it evaluated by a doctor who will be able to give you the right information.
