How To Remove Hard Sore Lump Formed After An Inset Bite?
Hi I had an insect bite about a month ago that got infected so i had antibiotics for it. The bite went but im left with a hard sore lump on my foot where the bite was. It swells up everytime i wear heels and feels as sore as it did when it first happened. When i wear normal shoes its still tender but the lump goes down.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
You had an insect bite one month ago and the hard sore lump is there on the foot.
It does change if you wear high heels.
I would advise you to get this operated as this has become a permanent. OF course you can have a trial treatment with antihistamine and oral steroids for 3 weeks, if this fails go for surgery.
