What Could Cause Dark Lines And Spots On Right Foot And Ankle?

I m a 63 year old female in good health and not on any prescribed mess. I m not in any pain, however, my right foot and ankle have started to develop dark lines and spots. They appear to be increasing on a daily basis. Should I go see my general practitioner or a dermatologist?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

Dark lines and spots on ankle and foot may be nonspecific and may be age related. However,consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I recommend no treatment as the condition is benign and harmless.

Hope this helps.
