Urgent Care : I suggest you have your foot examined as soon as possible at an Urgent Care Center to check for a possible infection which should be treated. The doctor in the Urgent Care Center will also determine how to best remove the lead from your foot and will refer you to a podiatrist if necessary. I wish you well with your health!
