A member asked:

I stepped on a pin and now the ball of my foot hurts. is there anything i can do to relieve the pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Is the pin out: Make sure the area is clean, unfortunately pins can cause infection that the person needs to be on certain antibiotics, just make sure it's not infected.
