Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
One of the common causes of lump in the feet is ganglion cyst.They are usually benign and don't require treatment.
In case of pain you can use a painkiller such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three time a day.
Cold compresses can also help the symptoms.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
