How Can A Lump On The Foot Be Treated?

I ve had a lump on my right foot below my ankle for a couple of weeks. Each day it seems to be getting worse. It s slightly discolored. Slight tenderness when touched, sore & stiff when walking. No known injury. Ice helps & elevation helps until I get up to walk again. Standing & walking aggravate it.

Hi,
What is the size pf the lump ??? If dont know then also its ok....As per your description of lump that can be filled with pus or blood or clear sterile fluid. So that it is too painful to the patient. Dont give pressure on that lump.Do ultrasonography of that lump so it will be easy to diagnose it. If lump is hard then it can be due to consolidation of old lesion. If it is soft then take care of lump because it can get infect therefore start Tab.Amox-clav BD, Tab.Brufen BD and Tab.Omez OD for 5 days.
Thank you.
