Brief Answer:
Insect bite
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
I am sorry to see that you are having a lesion on your foot. This may just be a small blood blister from standing too long. I would recommend that you not try to rupture it or puncture it as this may cause infection. It is best to let these lesions heal themselves. This is truly a benign lesions and will heal if you leave it alone.
I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions

Not gangere or diabetic foot or callous ulcer or anything??
Brief Answer:
none of the above
Detailed Answer:
All those things that you mention are not possible here. Gangrene only happens when there is severe infection and poor circulation. From your age and the appearance of the foot you appear very healthy. A diabetic ulceration would be only for those who have diabetes and there would be a large open area or crater that won't heal. This is definitely not a diabetic foot ulcer.
