Are Black Spots On The Sole Of Feet A Cause For Concern?

My son has three black spots on the bottom of his left foot. At first I just thought it was callus, and didn t think much of it. He says that they don t hurt and it doesn t bother him when he walks. They were going away and now have returned. I am baffled as to what it can be and I am hoping that it isn t serious.

Thank you very much for contacting healthcare magic.

According to your complain you have black spot at sole without any problem that is mostly callous .

Callous is hyperkeratinise area at sole.
Excessive pressure or more friction may cause callous.

Callous is body defence mechanism.
Normally callous is not painful when it infected than creat a problem.
Callous is not brown color that one dark yellowish brown in color.

Maintain your hygiene.
Wear soft sole footwear.

In diabetic patient may have brown spot on foot.
Check your blood sugar level.

Repeated sun exposure may cause brown spots at foot.

Hyperpigmentation may cause brown spot .
Internal bleeding under skin may cause this type of problems.

Consent a dermatologist for diagnosis.
