something wrong

with my foot. Just over a week ago i noticed a sharp pain in my foot, i thought i had stood on a peice of glas, but poked and prodded and didnt see anything.  now 1.5 weeks later its the size of about a 5c peice,  yesterday i decided to pull the skin back a bit, i was very careful, to let abit more air into the wound. Under the skin was a hole that went through all my skin. this morning i thought it was healing but stupidly went for a walk, for excersze, and i seemed to have made it worse, its now raised and size of a five center. what should i do?? i cant walk properly im always knocking it. grrrr. i will have to go to doc i guess but i want it to be a last resort. i

Re: something wrong

I had a bit of glass in my foot a few years ago.  At first, it hurt like anything, and I soaked the foot every day for about a week to help the glass move to the surface of the skin again.  It worked, but there must have been more than one because about 2 months later, I ended up with a really big lump that was filled with fluid and puss.

I was sent for an x-ray to see if they could find the piece of glass, but being clear, it didn't show up.  I was told to soak my foot 3 times a day in a special salt formula.  Also had to have special dressings on it to prevent further infection etc.  I don't know if any of it worked, because I still get pain occasionally from it, but it had gone away for a few years before it came back again.

Re: something wrong

Yes i agree it sounds like a planter wart and they hurt very much.  I had one and i tried every thing to kill it as i couldnt' walk on it for a long time either.  make sure you cover it up in the shower as any wet areas they are very contageous (or so i'm told but no one in my family got it except me) the doc may be able to cut it out. 

good luck

Re: something wrong

When you touch the hole does it sting? I had what you describe a few years ago with the hole going all the way through and it was a wart. Dont pick it because it spreads, happened to me and i got like 5little ones in a row. I think i picked it up from the swimming pools. Just ask a doctor cos to me it sounds like what i had.

Maybe soak the wound in some salt water then let it air at night time.. In the day pad the wound with some cotton balls for extra protection. If it doesn't heal go to the doc - maybe you do have something stuck in it. I hurt my foot last year - stood on a twig that impaled in my foot and became infected. Very painful!! Hope it gets better soon...
