Suggest Treatment For A Painful Lump On The Foot

Hi, I stepped on a rusty nail about 2 weeks ago and went for a tetanus shot and antibiotics the foot continued to be a little painful, now this morning I woke up with a hard lump next to the puncture wound. This lump is only painful when I place pressure on it when trying to walk. Please assist me in what this could be and how to treat it?
