Need Medication For Lump Noticed On The Beneath The Foot Which Cause Itchiness

hi, i had 2 lumps on the bottom of my foot; 1 in between my second and third toe and another lump between the third and fourth toe; they began with a itching sensation and being that i wore sneakers the itching turned into pain, every so often when i was home and relaxed i would let the lumps breathe and the first lump (being the itchiest) i would sort of rub, it would be for about 2 more days i would rub until it popped and jelly like stuff came out, i would get a tissue just to cover to catch the fluid. The next day it seemed to have gone down, so i went to the next lump i had, which seemed to be itching more than it did so i bought a syringe and needle and drained it myself because it didn't seem ready to pop just by me rubbing it- now about a week later both of those spots are brown and hard, are they infected? what were those lumps?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

From the history, it seems that your pricking with a needle might have caused it infected. This could also be due to gout (increase in serum uric acid). I would advise you to consult your family physician for a physical examination of the lesions followed by related investigations for a proper diagnosis and management.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
