I stepped on a sea urchin 2 weeks ago. it does not appear infected but is still sore. will it fully dissolve or is there something else that got in?

Below: If there is no redness or sign of infection, and you are unable to see any foreign material in the puncture site, then it should get back to normal in another coupe of weeks. Suggest cont soaking in warm, soapy water, 3 times per day for about 20 min each time.
