Hi,
Painful lesions such as the one that you described are most commonly as the result of trauma either direct or indirect.
Indirect trauma may be from the shoes worn or prolonged standing etc.
Rest, icing the area, elevation of the foot and the use of anti-inflammatory medications would be helpful to relieve your discomfort.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
