What is this dark painful spot on my foot?

IF you have streaks that are darker/lighter running up your ankle, that is a sure sign of bacterial infection. Bug/spider bites can give a serious infection. Sounds as if you may have brown recluse spiders in your home. Get to a doctor immediately...this is nothing to play around with. Make sure before you put your shoes on that you shake them out very well...bang them on the floor, etc.  Some spiders, including recluse and black widows, love shoes to build webs in.

If you are having a bad pain in your foot, that means that the nerves there are responding to stimuli. Go see a doctor and ask him. There's a far, far, far outside chance that you could be getting feeling back

What kind of discoloration is it?  Could it be from the dye in your shoes? Do you have diabetes? If it is bluish, your shoes are way too tight and you're cutting off the circulation!!! Not good I don't care how cute the shoes are!!  Soak your feed in warm water, gently massage them with lotion and put on some socks.  If you still have the problem in a day or so, see a doctor.  Blessings.

Do you have athelete's foot (foot fungus)? It sounds like it may be that. Perhaps you need an antifungal cream. Consult your doctor.

Just like charbar I have that pain in my feet when I get up.You might want to see a chiropractor for a check up.It could be poor circulation of blood, or possibly pressure on some nerves in your back.I have some back problems myself.

I found this in the internet.\n---------\nSevere rear foot pain that accompanies the first step out of bed in the morning is a sign of plantar fasciitis, a foot condition often accompanied by a heel spur. A heel spur occurs when a calcium deposit forms on the heel bone, causing a bony protrusion.\n\nThe heel bone is the largest bone in the foot, and absorbs the greatest amount of shock and pressure from walking, running and other activities. The bone is connected to the forefoot by the plantar fascia, a broad band of fibrous tissue located along the bottom surface of the foot.\n\nWhen the plantar fascia is stretched and pulls away from the heel, usually the result of over-pronation (flat feet), calcium deposits can form to fill in the gap, causing heel spurs. People with unusually high arches can develop the problem, and women have a significantly higher incidence of heel spurs than men because of the types of footwear they often wear, including high heels. Dancers or athletes who stretch the plantar fascia on a regular basis are also at risk.\n\nAccording to Dr. Suzanne Belyea, D.P.M., Medical Director of Foot.com, heel spurs themselves do not cause the severe pain. "When people have an over-stretched plantar fascia, it tightens up at night. The first step out of bed pulls it away from the insertion site, and the resulting inflammation of the plantar fascia is what causes the pain. Heel spurs are often present with this condition, but not always."\n\nStudies have shown that the size of the heel spur does not affect the level of pain, and that treating the inflammation related to the plantar fascia should allow the patient to live pain-free with a heel spur.\n\nThe key to treating the inflammation is determining the cause of the excessive stretching of the plantar fascia. When the cause is over-pronation, an orthotic with rearfoot posting and longitudinal arch support can effectively reduce the problem and allow the condition to heal.\n\nOther common treatments include foot stretching exercises, especially first thing in the morning before that first step is taken, weight loss, wearing shoes that have a cushioned heel to absorb shock, and elevating the heel with the use of a heel cradle, heel cup, or orthotic

It's probably athlete's foot (which is a fugus).  You can get foot spray at the drugstore to help it go away.  If you are showering in a public shower or tub that is shared, you may have gotten it there, so wear flip flops while you shower so you won't re-infect.\ngood luck

They are just calluses. I have them too. It's nothing to worry about. Just buy some good shoes or something.\n\nRead a little more here:\n\nhttp://www.foottalk.com/d_calluses.html\nhttp://www.podiatryltd.com/prob_skin_calluses.php

me thinks lots wrong but first is poor circulation. go to hospital. Is there anything that may have caused this for starters? Like diabetes, smoking, excessively tight shoes, injury. Is it swollen? spiderbite? check footwear and bed linen, etc. But SEE A DOCTOR NOW

It sounds like you have an ingrown toenail and the only cure for that is to have it removed.  I don't know what color it is, but if it has gotten thick and yellow, then you probably also have a fungus infection in the nail.  If the nail is gray and the toe around it is bright honking red, then there is a chance that you have a staph infection.  Either way, a trip to the doctor is in order, unless you can pull it out yourself and have access to antibiotics.  Good luck.

sounds like ingrown hairs.  they can raise like a pimple, get puss like a pimple, or fill with blood.  if they pop, they can bleed and it can be tramatic to the skin.  saying they went black, usually is just due to the blood in them or drying blood.  try soaking in a hot tub when you get them and GENTLY exfoliating the area.

Well your best bet is to try and find it and remove it, mostly because there is always a chance of infection.  However if you can't find it and its not really bothering you and its a relitively small piece it should be ok for now.  Your body will probably actually work it out after a while, much like it does a sliver.  But if its a bigger piece, becomes painful, red or swollen you need to hobble yourself down to the doctor's office as fast as your other foot can carry you!

Could be plantar fasciitis. Read this article to see if your symptoms match. The article gives advice on some exercises that may help. If the pain is really bad, you may want to see a doctor.

Go to the doctor, he/she will freeze them.  Or...they now sell at the drug store a kit so you can freeze them yourself.\nBeing that it is on your foot it is probably a plantars wart.  They have deep roots and cutting them off doesn't work.

my guess is plantar fasciitis.  i have a great website for you to check out regarding foot conditions and care, myfootshop.com.  for the heel pain the treatment is quite simple, you need to place 3/8 inch heel lifts into shoes, not a cushion, do not go barefoot and try simple stretches on the stairs with toes on edge and dropping heels below stair height.  go to the site these are all outlined there. use the source as direct link to site
