What Causes Small Soft Lump On The Bottom Of The Feet?

Hi, I have a small soft lump on the bottom of my foot near the bottom heal area which is of the skin colour of mine and when I walk I feel pain,the lump touches to the ground but when I don t walk it does not pain at all...and there is a slightly bigger lump on the left foot but in the front side area of the foot(just seed of the five fingers of the leg)as well,and that is also the same case. Can you please explain me what it is as I am really worried. Thanks, From, Raj England,United Kingdom.

Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of bilateral foot-lumps, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:
1.     simple sebaceous cyst; these could be infected and turn into boils!

2.     The second possibility is of other cyst-like benign and simple conditions like bursa; these are generally painful!

3.     The last possibility is of lymph nodes or gouty tophus! these should be investigated immediately!

I suggest you to go for an FNAC test of the lumps for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
