How Can Bumps Be Healed?

Stepped on a nail that wasn't cleaned up from a construction site well and it went about 1/2 an inch into the instep of my foot...it bled until I applied pressure then it stopped, now I feel like there is a bump in the portion the nail tip stopped, what should I do?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some infection on injured site.
Take Tetanus toxoid shot.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3-45 days.
Clean the part and apply antibiotic cream.
Ok and take care.
