Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I've noticed a small bump on the heel of my foot that feels similar to a blister. It's been there for about 3 days. Should I be concerned about it or have it checked out?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

It's always a good idea to have any swelling or bump evaluated by a specialist to rule out any underlying bony or internal issues. An X-ray may be necessary to ensure there's no serious problem. If you're confident it's just a blister, it should resolve within a few days with proper care, such as covering it with a bandage to protect it from further friction. If it doesn't improve or worsens, please seek medical attention.

 

Thanks
