Lump on heel

(2 discussions)

I have a small, elongated lump on my right foot, about the size of a staple (that’s already been stapled!). It’s located on my heel, in the middle of the right hand side. It’s soft and blue/green in colour. I noticed some pain the other night, that felt as if i’d been wearing high heeled shoes all evening, and then the next morning noticed the bump. It doesn’t hurt constantly, only when pressed or when I walk on it.

    Just to add, i’ve left it for four days now (i’ve been walking on tip toe) and it’s stil unchanged. Also, the blue/green is not like a bruise covering a large area, it’s only contained as a strip in the centre of the lump, looking a little bit like a vein under your skin would.

      Without seeing this I can not say for sure. It might be a vein that has become irritated. It might also be a foreign body you stepped on. You should have this seen by a podiatrist.
