I have a bump on the bottom of my foot. It s on the pad of it and it s been there for a few weeks. At first it was sore to walk on, and then it was only a dull ache if I were to touch it. Now there are five more similar bumps in the same general area. Each one is yellow-ish in color except the first, it s darker. I was curious, so I started picking at it (probably not the smartest thing to do), and there are these bits of black, I think it s skin, sticking up. I tried to pull a few out and it led to some minor bleeding. Do you know what this is? Or if there s any way to make these bumps go away?
Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. With your history, it seems that you have got multiple plantar warts with secondary infection due to the pin pricking you did on these. The first advice for you is not to fiddle with these things anymore, and vaccinate yourself against Tetanus if not done so far. Next you must take appointment with a skin specialist (Dermatologist) or a General surgeon and get these examined by him at the earliest possible to have a definitive diagnosis and to rule out any other graver conditions, following which proper treatment could be instituted. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
