Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Your description is suggestive of a minor injury of your foot due to stepping on a horse shoe. However, looking at a close photograph will help me in suggesting you better. How long ago did this happen?
Please upload a photograph in the box provided on the right hand side of the query box to have a more professional opinion.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
