What Causes Sudden Swelling On The Sole Of The Foot?

I have an unexplained, sudden swelling on the sole of my foot. This happened once before and the swelling turned into vivid bruising the next day. There is no injury, no pain, just suddenly I stand up and it feels like I ve stepped on something that is stuck to the bottom of my foot - right next to my little toe - when I reach down to see what it is, I realize it s a swollen spot about the size of a large cotton ball.

IT MIGHT BE A SOFT TISSUE SWELLING OR A MUSCLE RELATED OEDEMA.

APPLY ICE PACKS, LEG ELEVATION, LOCAL GEL

TAKE ANTI INFLAMMATORY TABLETS.

A COMPRESSION BANDAGE WILL HELP.

GET AN XRAY DONE IF THE SYMPTOMS PERSIST

Hope your query has been answered
