Suggest remedy for bump and squishy feeling on top of foot
Patient: I had foot surgery in May, two extra bones removed, and tendon work done. On the top of my foot there has been a little bump. I thought it may be a pimple and I picked at it, and it itches. It is not a bite because it has been there a while. Now the top of my foot feels squishy, and you can push it in and it will stay sunken in in that spot, but it does swell back up. Should I be concerned? Doctor: Hi,Thanks  for  your query.Well, without a clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of the lump. Possibilities that may need to be considered include enlarged bursa, lipomas, cysts, growths from underlying connective tissue etc.I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. You may get the X-ray of the area affected and FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) of lump under his/her guidance.I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.Take care
