What Does A Small Bump On The Foot Indicate?
In the past week I developed a small round bump on the lateral side of my left foot. You can actually see a raised inflammation. It is hard and feel like a swollen bone. I feels very tender and hurts like a bad bruise..... what is this caused from.... I get this periodically thoughout the year and eventually it does subside, but what it is? Would Pensaid drop help with the inflammation?

Hi,
In my opinion it may help but i recommend topical gels for my patients for such bruises or bumps. If it reappears I suggest you ask your physician for some investigations to exclude gout or any other underlying cause. Please consider a 5 star rating with some positive feedback if the information was helpful.
Hope the above information helps you, Any further clarifications feel free to ask.
Regards,
Dr. Ahmed Aly Hassan
