What Causes Pain With White Blister On The Nail Pierced Spot?

I stepped on a rusty nail about 4 months ago. It pierced the bottom of my foot, I got a tetanus shot the next day and everything seemed normal, pain went completely gone after a week or so. Now, appr. 4 months later , the pain has come back, its not intolerable pain but some days it hurts worse then others . I can see where the nail pierced my skin and theres a small white blister looking around it. It is sensitive to touch when i put pressure right on it. What could this be/mean? Should I be concerned? Is this normal?

Hi,
Looking to the history it seems that at the time of injury by rusty nail there might be having some rusty stuff remained inside which caused this problem after some time due to irritation and produced this infection.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
With proper cleaning and doing dressing will solve your problem.
Ok and take care.
