What Does A Small Bump On The Toe Of A Child Indicate?
My son (age6) has a small raised bump on the inside of his toe. It has been there for two days and is tender. I thought it might be the beginning of a wart, blister, or maybe a splinter. Tonight while showering, I noticed his toe is red and the red streaks across the top of his foot and up into his ankle.

Hi,
I do understand your pain and discomfort. As per your history is concerned it is an [epidermoid cyst] . Do not squeeze it, give warm compression and add one antibiotics for 7 days and lesser drain it there will not be any scar in it.
I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me. Wishing you all the best.
Thanks,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
