I second @Antje77 's advice.

In the meantime. Are you keeping the injured/infested area clean?

Do not whatever you do ignore it. If you feel it isn't progressing as you would expect, go back and have it checked out. Foot issues can escalate very quickly indeed from something irritating to something very serious indeed.

I don't post that to disturb you, but to remind you of the fact.
