What Causes Swelling On Foot?
Hi, I m a medical doctor. For over 10 years I had a small swelling now without pain at the head of the 2nd metatarsal right foot. NOW, on the contralateral side a painful swelling has developed. I ve looked up Morton s Neuroma but they say bilaterality is very rare. What do you suggest? Thank you!

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your case history of swelling on feet, my treatment advice is -
1. Apply ice on the lesions twice daily.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like Fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen for 5-7 days.
If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Take care.
