Brief Answer:
Probably a fungal infection, kindly more details are needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The symptoms seem to be related to a fungal infection.

I suggest you to send a photo of the foot to help me through the diagnosis.

Other information that I may need are:

Is the foot itchy?

Is the mass painful while walking?

Have you used uncomfortable shoes lately?

Meanwhile, I suggest to maintain the foot clean, wash it with antibacterial soap.

I also suggest to use an antifugal cream such as Miconazole cream.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
