Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A lump on the arch of the foot can be a corn or an infection. This needs a direct examination to find the cause and then specific treatment can be recommended. You can upload a photo of the lump on the right hand side of this query page for a better evaluation. Meanwhile doing a hot compress and mild pain killers can help.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
