Hi,

You seem to have callosity. And it may be due to continuous friction by shoe. The lesion may be thick and dark skin. It may be dry. You do not worry. You change your shoe. Rub whitefields ointment twice a day on the lesion. Keep the area moist by applying urea containing cream. Take vitamin A and E for long time. Do not use soap on the affected part during the bath. You may wash the area by using dettol. You may feel better. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
