What Causes A Painful Pus-filled Bump On The Sole Of A Toddler?
Toddler has a pimple like bump on bottom of her foot. It has a white head on it. Painful to the touch. Was able to get a little pus out with tiny needle stick. Not much came out.. Still some in there. I originally thought something may have been stuck in there. Now I think it may be an infection?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, based on your description , it is likely an infection. Infections can be associated with pain and discharge as well.
It would be best for you to take him or her to the doctor for assessment. Further infection may be introduced into the skin if it is broken under non sterile conditions.
In addition, a course of antibiotics maybe needed.
I hope this helps
