Hi!
Multiple small lumps on the heel can be Piezogenic pedal papules which occur due to fat ozzing out from deeper layers into the dermis. The papules may or may not be painful. If they are painful then you need to avoid standing for long, wear heel cups in your shoes, wear shoes with soft pads and rub pain relief gel over the heel. Some patients respond to cortisone injections.
Other possibilities are allergic dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis (less likely) and fungal infection. Please discuss this with your doctor. Take care!

This is what I use for foot pain. Apply it on liberally, massage it in to penetrate several layers of the skin. I get mine on line, or Ebay. I carry it with me and use it for everything.

EMU OIL OVERVIEW INFORMATION
The emu is a flightless bird that resembles a small ostrich. Emu oil is taken from the fat of this bird during processing. It is used to make medicine.

Some people apply emu oil to the skin for relief from sore muscles, aching joints, pain or inflammation, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, shin splints, and gout. It is also used topically to improve healing of wounds, cuts, and burns from radiation therapy; to reduce bruises and stretch marks; to reduce scarring and keloids; to heal surgical wounds caused by removing skin for skin grafts; to reduce redness due to acne; and to soften dry cuticles and promote healthy nails. Emu oil is also used topically athlete's foot; diaper rash; canker sores; chapped lips; poor circulation; and skin conditions, including cancer, dry skin, dandruff, eczema, psoriasis, wrinkles or age spots. It is also used to protect skin from sun damage and to promote more youthful looking skin.

Emu oil is also applied to the skin to reduce pain and irritation from shingles, bedsores, hemorrhoids, diabetic nerve pain, insect bites, earaches, eye irritation, "growing pains," and frostbite. It is used for rashes, razor burn, and nicks.

Some massage therapists apply emu oil to clients’ skin as part of their treatment.

How does it work?
Emu oil contains chemicals called fatty acids that might reduce pain and swelling (inflammation). There is some evidence that emu oil might work better for sudden (acute) inflammation than for ongoing (chronic) inflammation.

When emu oil is applied to the skin, it has moisturizing and cosmetic properties that resemble mineral oil.
My coworkers and I used to buy this by the gallon and share. We all love it.
Hope it works for you as well. Good luck
