What Causes Bump With Dark Brown/black Spot In Center On Foot?

My daughter has a bump on the bottom of her foot with a dark brown/black spot in the center. It hurts her so bad she can t walk on it. We thought it was a splinter but now believe it may be something else. There is also a red streak that starts at the bump and spreads to the side of her foot.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello. I just read through your question.
It is very possible that this began as a result of a splinter. What you are describing now, however, is consistent with a skin infection. Very often these infections require antibiotic treatment. i recommend consulting with your doctor so the appropriate treatment plan can be implemented.
