Bump Filled With Blood On Foot, Tiny Whole On It. What Is This?
I have a bump on my foot and it continuously fills with blood every once in a while. It's been a bump for years, and the bump itself won't go away. It looks like my skin...but there is a TINY hole..that is on the top of it. Sometimes it is clean..and sometimes I have to dig into it to get blood clumps out. Do you know what this is?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A tiny bump on the foot which gets filled with blood seems to be a hematoma or hemangioma. A hematoma is collection of blood in the tissue due to trauma. Hemangioma is a benign tumor of blood vessels.
You need to visit your doctor for clinical examination.
A biopsy may be required to know the exact character of the lesion.
If it turns out to be a hemangioma, it can be excised.
A hematoma clears away after few days.
So, consult your doctor.
Thanks and take care
