Something wrong with my foot?

Question

So i was at the beach today and I tripped but it was completely dark so i couldnt see anything. and i came home and now theres this gross purpleish-brown bubble at the bottom of my foot and it really hurts. i dont know what to do so something tell me! is it infected? whats wrong?

Answer 1

You very likely popped a small blood vessel, and that bulge is the result.  Very unlikely you have an infection unless you cut that area.

Try a hot soak, or ice.  The swelling should reduce on its own in a day or two.

Answer 2

well you see, you probably just have a nike in your foot. those fat chocolate labs, that are a brown, somtimes purple color, tend to be quite get-in-your-foot-ish.

its infected, but only with love from nike!

just give it LOTS of food and love and itll get better.

:] you probably got really excited you finnally had an answer, but its jjust from someone you know ;]
