What could it be?

[BellyBelly]

The first thing I asked her is if she'd stepped on something but nope... definitely feels like tissue under the skin. She's cut her big toe underneath but not the sole of her foot.

ETA: Hang on, she said something about being stung by a bee this weekend.... maybe she stepped on one.... hmmmm will ask her when she wakes up... the whole spider thing made me remember!!!

Yep they are usually pretty itchy for days afterwards

I was still thinking plantar wart. i had one on the ball of my foot and it was ITCHY as when i was a child. it was really deep and like you described the only real symptom (apart from itching) was the lumpy thing. eventually it kind of came to the surface (memory a bit vague here...) the Dr had to freeze it off. remember that clearly though LOL!

Bugger so there is nothing I can do to help?

plantar wart not much sorry hun!

if you are thinking sting then go the ice and i recommend that paw paw cream (in the red tub). it is AWESOME for itching. my friend got stung this afternoon at our BBQ and we whacked that on and it did the trick.
