Possible Bursitis on Left Heel

Anyone have any experience dealing with bursitis in the heel area below the ankle? I've googled it a bit, no medical confirmation yet, but hard, swollen bumps around the heel area on my left foot only. Slightly painful to the touch. I think it's being caused by my hard backed cycling shoes, but I'm not 100% sure. It's only on one foot. I'm concerned because I don't want it affecting my achilles tendon and of course, I just want it to go away.

I've iced it a bit, but haven't done much to rehab it. Should I swap out shoes? Maybe get a slightly bigger size? Are there shoes out there with softer or better fitting heels? Could it be something else?
