Question : I have a small bump on the tops of a few of my toes. At first I thought they were corns, but I tried using a pumice stone on them and they bled. I have a few pictures posted. One you can see how it looks like an open wound where I used the pumice stone. The other is one or two on my left foot that I didn't use the pumice stone on.

Brief Answer:
Small corns, initial phase.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I see the photo you attached and I think they are corns in their initial phase.
I can recommend you to use another pair of shoes since onset that you currently use have caused friction and may make corns worse.
I think you can try to use salicylic acid cream on top of them( not in top of ones that bleed) found otc.
Don't use pumice stones because they are at the very initial phase and don't make them bleed. Just changing shoes may make them go away.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
