i had a puncture wound on my foot i recieved antibiotics and am done with them for a bout a week its has been three weeks all together i have had the injury now my foot has a large lump at the puncture site but doesnt seem to be infected but hurts when pressure is applied to the wound area which i think might be normal....is this a normal healing process or should i have it looked at?
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. Lump formation on the wound area is not normal - it could be infection at the wound site with pus collection. (bacterial infection)2. Better it gets examined - if its collection, a small incision and Chat Doctor. 3. Another course of antibiotic might be needed for better healing.4. As a remedy do not scratch, keep the area
