Suggest Treatment For Swollen Bump On Foot
Question: i have a swollen bump on the outside of my foot its starting to hurt when i walk... i have had it since saturday...
Brief Answer:
Infected sebaceous cyst likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have seen the attached image. It is likely to be due to an infected sebaceous cyst or a callous. It can have pus inside and needs an antibiotic and anti inflammatory drug for treatment.
You can do a hot fomentation meanwhile for symptomatic relief and take a mild pain killer. Do consult your physician for proper prescription antibiotics.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Can subside on its own in next few days. Do a hot fomentation at least thrice a day, take a mild pain killer like ibuprofen and apply local antiseptic ointment like neosporin.
In case the pain and swelling increases then do consult your physician for proper oral antibiotics.
