Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi, welcome to this forum. Can understand your concerns.
* Pus filled spot on left foot can be most probably due to bacterial infection like pyoderma.
* The child will need antibiotic like amoxyclav for the pus to settle. Local antibiotic cream containing antibiotic like mupirocin should also be applied.
* An examination by doctor should be done so that we may not miss any important finding.
* If there is no improvement in 24 hours, then get child examined by a doctor.
I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
