Patient's question:
I had a cesarean section in 2010. During the postpartum period, I noticed two black dot-like spots on the soles of my feet. Since they didn't hurt or itch and didn't cause any discomfort, and because taking care of the child was exhausting, I didn't pay much attention. I didn't notice any significant change in size. Recently, I read about a 12-year-old girl who had black moles on her feet that didn't hurt or itch. She didn't return for follow-up for eight years, and by then, it had already developed into advanced malignant tumors. I'm very worried. You are an expert. Based on the current photos, what could this possibly be? Do I need treatment? Thank you very much!Doctor's answer:
As you described: Nowadays, many people develop black moles on their bodies. There are many reasons for this. Some are due to hereditary factors passed down through generations, making the body prone to pigmentation, which can lead to the recurrence of moles. Others are caused by endocrine disorders, more common in women. Additionally, exposure to ultraviolet light and poor lifestyle habits can also easily cause moles to appear on the body. In daily life, it's important to pay attention to prevention. If you're still concerned about your condition, you can go to a regular hospital for a follow-up check-up. Laser treatment is usually a good option.
