Seems to be inflammatory in nature.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query,

From description pain over foot seems to be inflammatory in nature. It could be due to an acute attack of gout.
I suggest you to give rest to your foot, take anti inflammatory drug like ibuprofen to reduce inflammation and get it checked by your doctor to rule out any infective cause.

Hope this helps you,

Warm regards.
