Small bump on bottom of foot in arch area?

Question

I have a very small bump in the arch area of my foot. It's not above the surface of the skin, so I don't think it's a wart. It seems to be UNDER the skin. And the dot that represents it is a very light purple. It hurts a little when I apply direct pressure on it, but there's no problem if I put pressure on any side of it. It causes moderate discomfort when I walk with shoes (the shoes have arch supports). If I walk barefoot around the house,there's no discomfort because the bump doesn't touch the ground. It feels like it's connected to the tendon that's runs from my heel to my big toe. Is it just a bruise? Some kind of tendon/bone spur? Have I inflamed the tendon by being on my feet for too long and thus created a little bump of sorts? If so, how should I take care of it?

Answer 1

the same thing happened to me. I thought it was just something I did and that it would go away.. It turned out to be a plantars wart.

Answer 2

Sounds like Plantar's Wart. Coat it with Compound W a couple times during the day. At night, put Duct Tape over it (really, my Dr. had me do it) and yank it off in the morning to pull out some of those dead cells. Eventually, the Compound W will deaden enough skin where you can get under the wart and peel it off.

I just went through that on both my feet....good luck!

Answer 3

Sounds like plantar fibroma. A common athletic problem, it can be surgically removed but it usually comes back, or just live with like most runners and cut a place out of your running shoe inserts where it would normally come in contact with your plantar fibroma.

Answer 4

Def sounds like a planters wart. They sell things in a pharmacy u can use to freeze it off, but if that doesnt work you should probably see a doctor because they can get pretty bad.
