Ethan's Foot

I am only posting this for posterity sake and to gross out Ethan.  He had a ...thing...on the bottom of his foot that was really bothering him so I took him to the podiatrist on Wednesday after school.  The nurse looked at it and said, "That's a wort."  The doctor came in and said, "That's a wort."...until he decided to just "slice a bit off the top to see" and then he realized that it wasn't a wort.  He has no idea what it is.  When he sliced it, a bunch of puss came out and there is a hole in the center of the mass.  Weird! 

The doctor thinks it may be a sliver or something Ethan stepped on (he kept saying it had to be "pet hair" but we don't have a pet!).  So now Ethan is soaking his foot every day and trying to see if the "thing" comes out.  Gross, but true.

I took this photo at the doctor's office right after he sliced a bit off the top of the mound.  Ethan wanted to see what the big fuss was about and so I showed him the picture.
