What could it be?

In bed tonight rissy started itching her foot alot and she told me she'd been itching it alot lately and it was keeping her awake. I thought maybe it was tinea or something, so went looking for some anti-fungal cream but when she held out her foot for me to put the cream on, she said that there was a lump and it was itchy. So I felt it and sure enough there was a lump, under the skin. It didnt feel really round, it was maybe the size of a large pea but not in that shape, just felt like she had something bumpy and lumpy in her foot thats definitely not there on the other side. And its really itchy for her. Any ideas?

ETA: Its not painful on touch or red.

i have plantar warts on the bottom of one of my feet - used to get them heaps as a kid - really itchy all the time

i'd get it checked Kel - if it IS a plantar wart, you can get some at home stuff that will kill it off over a period of time...

Planter wart would be my guess also.

Do they get inside the foot though? Feels really deep inside her foot and an odd shape? Sorry never heard of them before

she hasn't been bitten by something of late and not said ?

Kathryn - I was thinking that too - maybe a spider bite or something

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!!!
