Hi doctor,
I have a white bump on my right foot causing pain and stiffness. I am confused whether it is an abscess or ulcer. I have applied antibiotics ointment and taken some antibiotic tablets as well.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- As per your description and photograph (attachment removed to protect patient identity), it seems that you have a plantar wart on your feet.
- You do not need to worry as it is a harmless condition and effective treatment options are available.
- I suggest you consult a dermatologist for expert opinion.
- As a first line management, I suggest you apply some keratolytic ointments containing Salicylic acid. If it is not effective, then you might require a minor procedure called cauterization to remove the lesion.
Investigations to be done:
Biopsy.
Probable diagnosis:Treatment plan:
Cauterization.
Regarding follow up:For further information consult a dermatologist online.---> https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/dermatologist
