What Does A Bump On The Sole Of The Feet Indicate?
My 9 year old son has a bump on the bottom of his foot. It seems there is glass or something under the skin, but the skin has healed over it. It is tender but it doesn t impair his walking or activities. What do we need to do in order to remove whatever is inside?

Please get an X Ray of his foot, lateral oblique ans AP views. most foreign bodies show up in the X Ray. If X Ray is not helpful, then please get an MRI o his foot. This definitely will diagnose if there is ant foreign body under his skin, and if so, it can be removed. Please consult a Podiatric Surgeon, or a General Surgeon for the management. Till such time, it may be good if your son can give rest to the foot as much as is possible.
