Current medical status: a bump on my left foot, not sure if because of trauma or shoes
Current medical treatment: norvasc

“A hard bump” on the upper side of the foot is generally considered as a tumor that could originate from the skin, subcutaneous fat tissue or underlying tissues (muscles, tendons, joints, bones, blood vessels…).

You could consult a plastic surgeon about this “bump”.
