Painless Lump On Heel Of Foot. What Could It Be And How Can I Make It Go Away?
Thanks for posting your query.
A small painless lump on the heel may be due to
1. Sebaceous cyst: It is filled with a soft, whitish brown material that sometimes oozes out onto the skin's surface. This material is called sebum. If this protruding is accompanied by pain as well then there is a possibility of infection.
2. Corn- A collection dead exfoliated cells.
3. Benign tumor like lipoma/ neurofibroma.
A direct examination by the doctor will help in exact diagnosis. An FNAC or MRI scan might be helpful in a more specific diagnosis.
Till then, you get this lump examined from a doctor, apply warm compresses on the lump because if it is a swollen sebaceous gland or boil then application of warm compresses will help.
I hope this answers your query.
