What can be done about mild soft tissue swelling on the plantar surface of the foot??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See PCP / podiatrist: Best thing to do is to have your PCP or a podiatrist take a look at the swelling if the swelling has been there for a while. Otherwise, if this appeared as a result of some trauma, it should get better within a few days. All the best, Ariel
