Hi please don't take this wrong, we are a community of people who are here to give you support and any help discussing issues we have ourselves suffered with, this is not somewhere that you can come to for a diagnosis, if you have suffered an injury and it is inflamed or itchy then you need to get it checked out by a qualified medical practitioner, even a chemist/pharmacist could look at it for you,
This is not somewhere to come for a diagnosis, even if we are medically trained we still couldn't diagnose because we have to examine and see the injury and possibly do swabs to check for infection.
Please go to your GP but in the meantime make sure you have it as clean as you possibly can.

Hi Tidal, I hope your foot is better now! Whenever I do something like that, I think of the last time I had a tetanus shot. I think they are good for 10 years. If the swelling and redness persist, a doctor's opinion and treatment might be a good idea.
