I'm wondering if this is bumble Foot or just a injury. Pictures aren't the greatest. It is warm to the touch. I soaked foot in Epsom salt. I've had girls for 9 years or so. First time I've had this issue..

It could be bumblefoot. Usually the foot pad is swollen with a scab from a staph infection. Sometimes it also can swell between the toes. You can soak the feet in warm Epsom salts or Betadine. There are several ways to treat including soaking, removing the softened scab and squeezing out the bumble, surgery to get the yellow cheesy kernel out, sugardine (betadine plus sugar paste dressings, or tricide Neo soaks. Here is some reading:

Thank you, I did soak it today. It came on quickly. That's why I was wondering if it was bumble. I'll keep an eye on it and soak it for a few times everyday. And of course it's supposed to get cold and snowy up here again. Which makes doing anything outside a challenge. I will check out the links you sent me. Thank you again.
