Suggest Treatment For Tenderness And Pain In The Foot

Foot pain the pad of foot very near the 4th toe closes to the small toe. Tender to touch and hurts when you walk. I thought it was a splinter but have Epson soak for 4 hours and still no ease. No redness or cut at sight, my feet usually are with socks so it is not callus or cracked skin. Thought it was Morton s Neuroma, I had once but that was the toe pad closes to the Big toe. Any ideas?? Thank you
