Hello,
You can have an ulcer in the foot by some foreign body as mentioned in history. You don't have remembered how you got hurt.
So you need to rule out diabetes in which person might not notice trauma due to neuropathy.
If the ulcer is present as mentioned then you can apply topical antibiotic over that.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
