stepped on a tack !

i stepped on a rather large tack… It went through my sneaker and into the bottom of my foot.
it still hurts after 4 days.
there is a small black and blue patch on the ball of my foot.
it dawned on me that part of the tack could still be in my foot !
question? should I see a podiatrist or go to the er ?

    I hope you do not think I can tell you here if there is still part of a tack in your foot. If you are concerned enough you need to make an appointment with a podiatrist. If you have an infection, you need to see someone immediately. Good luck
