          Hi Gregor!  Sorry you have to have this worry.  If your prior melanoma lesion was on your back, spread to the toe is an unlikely place.  Sadly, however, melanoma can do just about anything!  I am glad you have an appointment to check it out.  Hopefully you just stubbed your toe!  Wishing you my best.  Celeste
