What Is The Treatment For A Pimple On The Foot?

Hello, I have what could appear to be a pimple on the bottom of my foot. It is clearly not a pimple but jus to get an image in your mind. It is small. I appeared at the end of a trip to the beach. I walked probably around 3 miles barefoot on the side of the road, so I though I could ve caught something, cause I went a lotta places barefoot. But I didn t really hurt too much. If I put pressure directly on it it hurts a lot. But jus walking in general doesn t really hurt it. It is slightly red around it, and it isn t an open sore, it s covered with a layer if skin. The skin is if course think on the bottom if my foot. We thought there was something in it like a thorn but I ve cut it open an look an there s nothing. But when I do mess with it so much blood squirts out! But it s fine. I soak in eosin salt. Idk can t find an answer. I ve had it for a month now.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might have developed a corn.
You need to apply corn cap on that.
Leave the corn cap for 24 hrs and then remove it. The corn will fall of on its on in few days.
If it still persist radiofrequency ablation has to be done.
A photograph would have helped me in giving a closer diagnosis.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
