Question 1

i have a hard lump on my foot near my ankle....this disappears then returns....my dr sent me for x-ray but nothing showed up as the lump had gone sinc?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like: a GANGLION (the protrusion of a tendon and its sheath) which can be intermittent (It does not "show" on routine xrays...an MRI might detect it if it becomes a problem (pain ,interference with ambulation)
Hope this helps!

Need exam: It is very difficult to say without seeing and examining the foot.  The hard lump may be a prominent bone such as the head of a metatarsal, it could be a tumor, it could just be part of the callous itself.  See your pcp or podiatrist for evaluation and treatment.

Question 6

See the : Podiatrist or dermatologist without seeing it it is difficult to ascertain if tis is a benign or malignant lesion. See a doc, it might need to be biopsied.

Question 8

i had a hard pimple like lump on the bottom of my foot. i squeezed it and watery stuff came out. it's still there but not as hard. what could it be?

Any "lump": Should really be checked out by a doctor. What you describe sounds like a cyst of which there are a few different types. Without seeing the actual lesion anyone would just be guessing what it is.

Consult dr: All bumps should be examined and possibly biopsied for definitive diagnosis.

Question 10

i have hard skin on ball of my foot under neath it there is a hard lump and its really sore, what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Callus: You might have developed a callus underneath the ball of your foot.  This is normal due to increase pressure.  You can try using moisturizer cream to your feet after getting them wet, you can try an over the counter pumice stone as well to help soften and get rid of the hardened skin.  If there is still pain a better description and a referral to a podiatrist may help!
