My cute little Freckle

For those of you who know me very well (and probably not many of you know me this well!) but I have a cute little freckle on the bottom of my right foot. Its a lone little freckle, and Ive always liked it. Its something that not many people know about me (until now!) and its a different place for a freckle. The bottom (arch area) of my foot. Interesting.

Anyways, a few weeks ago as I was getting into bed one evening I felt like I had a sliver in my foot. I turned the light on (my husband was just a tad annoyed!) and took a look... my cute little freckle was red, and raised. Uh oh. So I took a closer look and no there was no sliver in it that I could see. Over the next few days as I was walking it still hurt and then it finally calmed down.

Well this morning I went off to the dr and she took a look at it and said that although its not bothering me now its best to remove it. She said there are certain concerns with moles or freckles in my case that can be cancerous, and certain areas are more prone to having cancerous cells. The foot being one of them. So in March Ill head off to the dr to get my cute little freckle (which still isnt really mole looking at all!!) to get removed, and all that will be left is a scar. My cute little freckle and my little secret that not many know about me will be gone. Ill be left with a few stitches after she removes it and thats that. Too bad.

Better safe than sorry I think!
