What Causes Throbbing Pain In The Foot?
my 54 year hold husband has a throbbing , dull pain on top of his right foot. there is some swelling and a red bump. he has soaked his foot in Johnson s Foot Soap , and that has not really helped. His foot feels better after resting, and wearing his shoes with looser laces. we have not tried icing the foot yet.

Hi,
In my opinion, redness, swelling with throbbing pain on top of the foot should be treated as infection, a boil or cellulitis.
Please get your blood counts and consult your GP for starting antibiotics if required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
