It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. If you are diabetic it is especially urgent that you seek care immediately. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!

There are a couple possibilities as to the cause of your pain. You need to see a podiatrist or your family doctor. You could have pathology ( fracture or capsulitis) causing localized bleeding. X-ray are recommended. Could have a Morton’s foot A long 2nd metatarsal relative to the first metatarsal. Might require custom orthotics or surgery.
