Question : I'm 32 and in good health. For the past week I have had the sensation of something being stuck between my third and fourth toe on my left foot. No pain or tingling, just a sensation that something is there. I do have high arches and have had plantar fasciitis in the past. I develop foot pain easily if I don't wear very supportive shoes such as skechers shape ups. I never wear high heels.

Can you advise on what is going on with me?

Thank you!

Brief Answer:
it can be benign growth

Detailed Answer:
Hello
I have studied your case.
There is possibility of benign growth in inter metatarsal area which may not be seen from out side.
Further investigation like x ray and MRI will help in diagnosis.
Another possibility of any local infection leading to altered sensation.
