Need Medication For Splinter On The Bottom Side Of The Foot
i had a small splinter on the bottom side of my foot a few months ago. i took a finger nail clipper and cut out the splinter but when my foot closed it made this hard scab on my foot. My foot only hurts when pressure is applied to the scab and the area isn't black or anything. It's taking forever to heal though, it's inconvenient some days I'm just wondering whether i should wait longer or have it looked at.

hi.i think you might need a surgeon to look at it cause there might still a part of a splinter left which might be the cause of the overscabbing of the wound.that might also the reason why its painful when you bear weight on it
