A member asked:
4 days ago my boyfriend stepped on an earring i had dropped in the floor and he's having a lot of pain cuz it went through his heel he got it out it's not stuck and there's not very much swelling but he's still in a lot of pain what do you suggest?

The epidermis or Skin on the foot is very thick. Puncture wounds can still cause bleeding under the surface as well as introduce bacteria into the skin and cause cellulitis. If a piece of the earring broke off, a foreign body can also cause pain. A detailed examination from a clinician can determine the cause
