Lump top of foot

Common Questions and Answers about Lump top of foot

lump

Hello, I wrote in a question recently about a hard pea sized lump on top of my foot. I appreciate the answers I received and now I have another one. The lump is hard like bone and is not painful. It is located on the outside edge between my little toe and ankle. It may have been there awhile and I have just noticed it or it could be a new occurance. I went to my family physician today and he ordered an x-ray. The lump also does not move. The x-ray did not show anything.

It is difficult to comment without examination. A hard lump on top of the foot is probably a ganglion or a neurofibroma. A ganglion is a sac-like swelling or cyst formed from lining of a joint or from a tendon. A neurofibroma is a collection of nerve and fibrous tissue. If it is causing pain and pressure symptoms it needs to be removed. Please consult your PCP to start with and get a referral for a surgeon. Take care!

I'm a runner and recently got a pain on top of foot, as if my laces were too tight 9they may have been!) recently been doing a lot of off road running on uneven hard surface. it seems to be in the Extensor Hallucis Brevis area and there is a squashy lump the size of a smallish coin in that area, which isn't really painful to touch. If I loosen my laces in that area I can walk and do a bit of running without too much discomfort.

I have a question. I have a lump that seems attached to the bone on the top of my foot. (From the diagram I looked up it seems to be on the 2nd cuneiform) it does not move and by that I mean it feels like it is anchored to the bone, it has gotton bigger over the last few days. (No injuries, no trauma).The lump does not hurt but my foot aches and it travels up to my ankle and almost up to my hip.I couldnt sleep last night because of the dull ache and cramps.

But I also have these horrible painful lumps on the tops of my feet. It feels like all my foot bones (in both feet) are broken. Another way to describe it is that it feels like I have very severe bruising on the tops of my feet. (There is a very small bit of bruising on the lump on my right foot) but the pain and lump is on both feet. The weird thing is that noone can tell how excruciating the pain is as I can't really limp - bc it's both of my feet, it looks like I am walking normally...

This morning when I woke up, I noticed that it spread to my other foot and there were 4 small less than pea sized, red, lumps on the bottom of my right heel.

Doesn't bother me so I left it alone. Then about a year ago I got a lump on the top of my left foot that turned out to be ganglion also. Had it removed in Oct. Two months later another one appeared a little further up on the top of my foot. Had it drained and steroid injected. Three months later the same thing happened, but it was a bit bigger. Had it drained, no steroid. The next day it came back, but bigger than ever. Had it removed three weeks ago.

I already asked my question...My son has lumps under the bottom of his foot, they are in clusters and hollow and causing him horrible pain. Do you know what these could be and how to treat them?

What do you think the nations top 3 issues are today, and how would you go about fixing it if you had the ability to do so?

Hi, I just saw my doctor yesterday, and I had a lump on top of my right foot. He x-rayed the foot and it came out normal. He told me I had a cyst on my foot and used a needle to extract a clear gel out of my foot. Today, the lump is bigger than before and looks like a huge mosquito bite. My foot is also a bit on the stiff side. Is this normal?

Has anyone heard of anything similar? I was bitten by a tiny 'juicy' spider (as opposed to a crunchy spider) Over the next couple of days it itched, then a very hard knot about the size of a pencil eraser came up, I had a biopsy and it came back indeterminable. . . .

I got up early in the night and initially it painful putting weight on my foot, however after a few steps the pain decreased. on getting up this morning the lump on my foot has disappeared, however I have some redness stretching from about 1cm below my big toe to just above my ankle. It is tender to touch however not painful to walk on. I have only slight tenderness in my lower leg now. Please could you advise what this could be and if I need to see anyone.

About 8 days ago I noticed a lump on the top of my foot, right on top of one of the tendons that run from the ankle to the toes. The lump was pretty hard, but had a slight amount of give to it (when pressed). It was also slightly movable.

I too have this problem. the top of my butt crack (all the way from the very top to the anal opening) is red, irritated and cracking. it feel like the skin splits when i sit and the crack is open(?). and if the shower hits it the wrong way it hurts. I went to the doctor yesterday and she said it is a bacterial/fungal infection. I forgot the name of it. But it's because the skin between your two butt cheeks rubs together and is moist.

on 9/26 saw podiatrist because still couldn't move toes, got a burning sensation in that lump on top of my foot often, and sometimes it feels like it has a twitch (like you get in your eye). She reviewed 2nd xrays (this time weight bearing), said nothing broke, and lump could be 'cyst, ligment, or tendon'. Ordered boot, said to wear it only during day, and that I didn't need to be seen again. As of today, I still can't walk normally, can't move 3rd, 4th, or 5th toe.

Did you ever get a response to this? I've been trying to find out what it is.

my 7 year old daughter has had a soft lump come up on the top of her foot,she says it doesnt hurt but its worrying the life out of me!!

The thing that puzzles him though is that some kind of painless fiber has been growing under the skin starting from this lump to about the top-middle of my foot where it seems to have glued itself to under my skin. At this spot where it is glued to my skin it is painful when I touch it. The rest of the "fiber", or cord, or wire, as it seems to be when I touch it (it moves under the skin as if it was a fibrous wire but not where it ends where it seems to be sticking to the flesh).

I've had a blood clot on the top of my foot for the last 3 months. I have unsuccessfully treated it with 325mg of aspirin, ibuprofen/naproxen, heat, elevation, and wrapping it. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? If so, did it resolve itself? How concerned should I be about the occasional thigh/calf tightness? Should I be very concerned that that clot remains after so long? I have come very close to cutting the length of the vein (approximately 1/4").

For almost as long as I can remember I have had a small non painful lump on the sole of my foot. It never hurt and I thought I had it from splinter I never took out as a child. Recently during a pedicure the pedicurist decided she could scrape it off and she pulled off the top of it. That is when it started to hurt and has since become more and more painful. I thought it may have gotten infected and I went to the Dr. Much to my surprise the Dr. started talking about Biopsys and cancers.

My daughter, 14, has a knot on the outside of her ankle just above the knobby bone and on the top of her foot. She hurt these two areas at separate times while running. She is a softball player and runs track. We had both areas x-rayed and the x-rays did not show a fracture in either area. We have applied ice and heat and also given her anti-inflamatory medicine for 8 weeks. She tried jogging again and it is hurting again and seems to be worse. I have made an appointment with a podiatrist.

I noticed a hard, bony lump on the top of my left foot about the size of two peas. It is located between my little toe and the fourth toe, about 2 inches up towards my ankle. It seems to be getting bigger and the place where it is located tingles continuously. It also hurts really bad when I put my bare foot on a step, it hurts right under my little toe.

my girl friend slipped on the stairs a month ago and her foot swelled up. not having health care she didnt go to the doctors. ITS been a month the swelling did go down not its swelled up again, it dos not hurt hear to walk on it but it is swollen on the top and black and blue on the side. she says its slightly num were its black and blue. went to a coroparctor friend and he did a xray and didnt show any thing. could this be a break or is it a sprain, also is it dangerous to let it go this long.

The area is right on the top if my left foot in the soft spot by my ankle bone. What happened is at work I tripped and twisted my ankle. It hurt right from the start after I got up. My boss had me go to the doctor and make sure it was not broken. They took x-rays and told me that it was not broke probably sprained. After about 2 weeks I was noticing that the pain was not going away. I went to see my doctor for a 2 opinion. He referred me to a specialist in feet an orthapedic doctor.

I assumed it was athletes foot, but these small wart-like pimples are concerning me. Some are single lumps, some are in clusters of 3 or more. They appear to have a clear "bubble", but some also have a darker "dot" in the middle. So the question is then, do I have some sort of contageous infection? Or is it simply athletes foot that has spread the the hands? I suffer from hayfever and use hayfever tablets (cetirizine) if that is any help?

I just found a lump on my left forearm, about an inch above my wrist. It's about 1.5 inches long, oblong, flat on top, and painless. It feels rubbery with a softer spot in the center, where I notice it looks a bit yellow or pale, and I can move it slightly. I'm making an appointment with my doctor, but would be grateful for any insight or impressions. It seemed to appear suddenly...unless I somehow missed it, which is unlikely.

When ever I do a run or do a fast paced walk I get two lumps on the side and get to the sice of a half dollar. Then my whole entire shin and top of foot begins to burn like someone poured acid on it. Even though it hurts it feels a lot better to continue walking or running because when I stop it hurts even worse. After a while my ankle will swell and be filled with fluid. I just recently went to a orthopedic specialist and he had xrays and a mri done.
