What Causes Small White Dots On Sole Of Foot And Toe Side?

I have a small white dot on the sole of my foot and on the side of my toe. it really isn t painful but has grown it looks like a tiny crater ?? It s still small though. ? I don t know how to describe it. Looks like a possible wart but there isn t a center with black on it. Not sure. I tried to cut it off but I ended up causing another one to show up right next to the existing one.

Hi.
As per your clinical history you are having either planter wart or corn.
My treatment advice is-
1. Donot cut it by own. You may worsen the condition.
2. Wear soft-sole shoes to avoid pressure on that site.
3. You can use Salicylic acid plus lactic acid solution application (Salactin paint/Duofilm solution) once at night on lesion and Antibiotic cream like Fusidic acid cream (Fusiderm cream) in morning.
4. If Condition persist even after above treatment for 4 weeks, consult a dermatologist as you may need either cryotherapy or laser ablation of lesion.

Thanks.
