Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It may be corn. Not warts. As there is no bleeding and pain on cutting with nail cutter and there is a pain on pressing the lesion. You may apply salicylic acid 13% solution on the lesion twice a day till the lesion disappears. And avoid pressure on walking. Wear soft insoled shoes.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
