Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I wore flip flops today cleaning outdoors today on patio. Now my bottom/ side of foot has a white looking pimple and when I rub it , it feels like something n my foot . Can I safely lance this with a burned needle? Feels like a piece of glass in foot.
Hi, Thanks for contacting HCM. It is never advised with issues of the foot to use a home device to extract a possible foreign body. There are many reasons for this, including higher risk of infection, limited visibility, pain, unknow depth of object, open sores, etc. Professional assistance would be recommended for any foreign body in the foot. I hope this helps answer your question, if you have any further questions, I am here. Thanks.
