Hi dear user. Good morning (here is 7:49 am) and thanks for using the service.

Macular lesions could be common in exposed skin. However if that one is in the sole of your foot and you haven't been exposed to sun, you should Pay attention to future changes, like color changes (turn to blue, or black), also pay attention to new symptoms like itching, pain, or bleeding in the area. In oder oder to be careful with malignant lesion, like melanoma (a kind of skin cancer).

Some macular lesions are no dangerous if those changes doesn't appear. Anyway I strongly recommend you to visit an especialist (dermatologist) to do a physical evaluation with an special lense to make differential diagnosis with this malignant lesions.

Have an excellent day
Regards
