    Trod on a rock

    About five weeks ago I trod on a rock while running. was very painful at the time but has left me with a "lump". I notice this when walking, especially barefoot, although its not painful to run on. It seems to be around the knuckle of the fourth toe on the sole of the foot. Any advice? Thanks...
