Suggest Treatment For Hard Bump Above Bottom Of Foot

I have a hard raised bump tender to the touch on the inner side about an inch above the bottom of my foot. I thought it was like hard spots on my heal I can remove but it's not like that. It has a circular hard center and slightly red ring around it tender to touch. What can I do to treat it at home and what is it?

Foot lumps can be caused by infection, inflammation or trauma. It usually is temporary and subside as the underlying condition resolves. Foot lumps that persist or continue to grow over time may signal more serious conditions. If you have a foot lump that is persistent or causes you concern, seek prompt medical care. Meanwhile treated with rest, ice, compression. Visit a dermatologist.
