Suggest Remedy For Skin Problem In Foot

I uave had problems with my feetaince I was about 14, I m now 18 and it s becoming an annoyance that I have to have certain socks to wear different types of shoes and sometimes I cannot wear the shoe at all. My big toes on the outside have very hard dead skin, I can almost dig my nail into the hardened skin area as hard as possible and not feel a thing. Also, one of my feet have started to get dry and peeling skin in between my toes, I have also just noticed a small spot about half the size of a pea that look like a gel like substance in it. I m to scared to pop it incase I make it worse, any advice would be great.

Hi.
As per your case history you are having callosity on feet.
My treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a salicylic acid plus lactic acid lotion like Salactin paint once at night on hard part.
3. Take a vitamin A supplement once daily for 2 months.
4. Other treatment options are cauterization and laser ablation done by a dermato-surgeon.

Thanks.
