You opened it?: Meaning the skin is open? If so apply an antibiotic and bandage. If there is a bruise and it hurts you can ice it, if no pain time will heel it.

Sounds like a corn: Your skin will protect itself where there is increased pressure by forming a corn/callus however sometimes things can get embedded within that forming. This can be dirt, can be a scab from friction or a wart (virus). Have the podiatrist check it and offer you relief and treatment options.
