Question 1

how to get rid of tiny white bumps on the heels of my feet?

Accepted Answer

Probably nothing. : If the white bumps are along the heel margins and only noticeable when pushed upwards against the bottom of the heel, then they are inconsequential fat globules that squeeze out from behind an enmeshment of tissue that contains them.

Question 2

what causes redish spots/bumps on the heels of small children?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can look: Spots, bumps, and rashes are hard to describe so an exam is usually needed. Small children (young children) can get bumps from eczema (sensitive skin, dry skin), from stepping on sharp or rough surfaces (they often go barefoot), from tinea (athlete's foot fungus), from bug bites, etc... If bumps are not painful and not oozing, then over-the-counter Hydrocortisone can help until the doctor sees it.

Question 7

i suddenly have a crack/dent on the side of my heel the skin is not broken or dry it's very painful and next to it there's a small bump also painfull

Accepted Answer

Exam needed: Without examining the area a diagnosis can't be made. If there is spreading redness I would be concerned about cellulitis which would require antibiotic treatment. The lump could be a cyst. If warm wet  applications don't improve the discomfort, have a physician evaluate you.

Question 8

can you get corns on the heel of your foot? i have a hard patch of skin with a white rough area in the middle. the whole bump is shaped like a cone when viewed from the side and is small?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, you can get a corn on the heel. You may try over the counter corn removal items, if that does not work, consult a podiatrist.
You may need a change in shoes to prevent recurrence.

Question 9

i've had a small bump at the heel of my left foot for a long time. it never hurt, but now it is giving me slight pain. im not sure if it's my shoes?

Accepted Answer

Haglund's deformity.: Small bumps on the back of the heel can be caused by one of several different conditions, ranging from a wart to an underlying bone growth. The fact that shoes could be starting to cause irritation is a sign that you need to have the heel evaluated. A simple visual examination along with a possible x-ray may all that is necessary in making a definitive diagnosis and advice on treatment.

Question 10

my 10 month old has a very small white bump on the heel of her foot it's very hard but does not bother her it's just weird taking her to her wellness ?

Accepted Answer

Bump: If she is walking, she may have stepped on something and there is a foreign body. Keep it clean and gently pumice the area and if persists, have it seen with imaging such as ultrasound. All the best.
