What Does A Small Puss Filled Lump On Foot Indicate?
Hi, Four years ago i noticed a small painless lump at the side of my foot, that lump grew very slowly into a pea nut size. Four months ago the lump turned reddish and 2 days back I noticed puss formation in the Center of the reddish lump. Is it tumour or infection or what? Should I consult a doctor?

Hi.This looks like an infection bunion. Simple antiseptic dressings and antibiotic coverage orally will help. ID there is no response you may need a small surgery to excise the lump.
