Any help would be great

Oh! and put some cream on your foot for the dryness

Yes

Go to the Dr, get some anti-inflammatories (may help a bit). When the flare is over, get blood tests done and discuss starting urate lowering therapy as soon as possible. Read everything on here and let us know how you get on. Good luck.

Probably better to wait until the swelling has subsided

See if you can get some colchicine from your doctor…if it works well that is MORE evidence of gout.
(Have a foot X-ray just to make sure you haven't broken a bone.)
