For a couple of years I have had what I suspect to be an undiagnosed squamous cell carcinoma on my big toe. If I scratch off the superficial part it looks like there is a root remaining (I can see what looks like the end of a blood vessel) and of course the thing comes back. Does the presence of the "root" tell me anything about the nature of the item? Thanks.

    Go to your doctor, they can remove it and send it to be checked for cancer - it's super easy to do. Or they may take one look at it and diagnose it as something else. If it is a wart they can guide you in removing it permanently. If it's cancer, they can treat it appropriately.

  • Just giving the first sentence of DoctorWhom the highlighting it deserves: Go to your doctor and get it checked!

  • Thanks for your concern, but I'd still like to know the answer. If it is frozen off it will come back because it has a root. S/he'll say I'm cured and then it comes back a year later somewhere else.
