Accepted Answer

Itch and lump: Itching followed by the appearance of a lump suggests an allergic reaction(angioedema) or an insect bite. These should not be very tender to the touch,however. See your Physician or a podiatrist if symptoms persist.

Question 2

i have what started out as a small lump on the bottom of my foot (it has grown larger). it's not on the arch or the heal. it's painful when walking.

Accepted Answer

Lump on foot: Any lump or mass on the bottom of the foot is not normal and should be checked by your local podiatrist or foot specialist. Please make an appointment as soon as possible so that a thorough examination of your foot is undertaken to find out what it could be and any treatment available.

Question 3

Many possibilities: Some causes of painful “lumps and bumps” may include: bony overgrowths, soft tissue masses, ganglions, fibromas, and cysts.  Have it evaluated by a professional to get the right diagnosis.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Could be a number of things. Is it on top of or on skin surface, or under skin. Could be a benign fibroma or cyst but need examination and biopsy result to make a diagnosis.

Question 5

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?

Accepted Answer

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.

? cyst: It could be a ganglion cyst. If so, unless it is causing pain no intervention is needed.
