What Could Be The Pimple Like Bump On The Foot Of My Daughter?
My 5 year old daughter was complaining that her foot hurt. We looked at it and she has a pimple like (with white head) bump on the bottom of her foot. It is almost like a white head, but it has a green color in the middle of the white head. I'm guessing she may have gotten a splinter or something, but I'm not sure.

Hello
The Green or black part in the centre of white of an abscess is called punctum.The absess formation is mostly due to secondary infection following any cut injury.
Putting the feet in hot saline water will help in softening and drainage of abscess.
Apply antibiotic ointment like mupirocin after cleaning with betadine antiseptic solution.
Oral antibiotic like amoxycillin will help in healing the lesion.
