    I read another post that sounded similar. My daughter has a lump about the size of a pea on her left foot about an inch above her little toe. It looks to be right by a blood vessel. It doesn't move. It's hard but not solid, if that makes sense. She says it doesn't hurt. Just wondering what it could be and if I should just watch it or run to the dr. If I should run to the dr. should I go to the pediatrician or a podiatrist?

    Thanks

    It would be my recommendation that she be seen so that it can be determined what it is and whether it requires treatment. I would think that a podiatrist would be a more appropriate choice than a pediatrician.
