White lump bottom of foot
by Melissa
Hello, I was barefoot for several days and naturally stepped on some less-than-friendly rocks. I have a few puncture wounds that are open and healing just fine, but I have one that is a white lump or whitehead on the bottom of my foot. It is located just above the balls of my feet, between the big toe and the next smaller one. I do feel and see a lump, but not necessarily something in that lump e.g., a small rock or something. Thanks for your help! Hi Melissa, My first guess would be you have a small abcess in that "white" spot. The best advice I can give you is to see a foot specialist in your area to make a proper diagnosis. If it is an abscess your doctor will drain it. It is not a major undertaking. However, if it is an abscess and you do not have it treated it could get a lot worse and then you will major issues. Marc Mitnick DPM DISCLAIMER:
