Inflammation develops as a normal protective response of the immune system when body tissue is irritated for whatever reason. When tissue is irritated, the immune system increases blood flow to the area. This causes localized swelling, warmth, and redness. The swelling may put pressure on nerve endings which may cause pain in the area. Inflammation may occur in joints or extremities. Inflammation may occur with overuse of a body area or with minor injuries.

Minor infections may go away on their own or with home treatment measures. These include:

    * A fungal infection (athlete's foot).

    * A viral infection from a plantar wart wound.

More serious infections should be evaluated by your health professional. These include:

    * Skin infection (cellulitis).

    * A pus-filled pocket (abscess) just under the skin surface or deep in tissue
