Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Pain in the foot above heel with a bruise can be treated in the following way:
1. Take antiinflammatory-analgesic tablet like Ibuprofen with Paracetamol combination after food twice daily.
2. Apply Neomycin skin cream topically on the wound twice a day after cleansing the area with mild antiseptic like Savlon.
3. Take a course of antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin.
Take care not to cause any form of injury to the area.
Your injury should start getting better in a couple of days time.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
