Marble size cyst on soft part of arch

I have a cyst actually two in the soft part of the arch of my foot, I’m calling it a cyst for lack of a better word, one is about the size of a marble and the other is a little smaller, I can’t tell if it’s a vein thats blocked or if it’s a simple stone bruise (it has a shadow bruise look) but it protrudes slightly from the skin and is extremely painful to walk on….
I have tried soaking my feet in warm water ( seems to make it worse) and putting ice on it makes it feel a little better…
I’m a little scared and have no health insurence and am wondering if its something I need to have checked out immediatly or if you think its just a stone bruise and will eventually go away… Thanks so much.

    This is one of those times I invoke my overused statement- To see is to know- not to see is to guess.Unfortunately, I can’t tell what you have just from your description. I might be something as simple as a Plantar fibroma or it could be something else. My advice is to make an appointment with a podiatrist or orthopedist and get this checked out. I am sorry you do not have health insurance, but that really should not stand in the way. Good luck.
