Stepped on a rock

I jumped out of a boat bare-footed onto a rock 1 week ago.
The arch turned black and blue and I have a painful lump.
The discoloration went way, but it still has a lump and is sore.
I know this needs time to heal.
How long does healing normally take? and what is the best method of treatment to promote healing?
I iced it within the first 24 hours.
the past two evenings I soaked it in epsom salts with hot water.

    I recommend you have this looked at. Until you do, I suggest you wrap it with an ace type wrap and use ice. Heat makes things swell more. You should use crutches and keep the weight off it. I can’t relaistically tell you how long it will take to heal as I have not examined your foot.
