For about 3 or 4 months. I ve had a small pea-sized red circle with a white center (unless it is very cold, then it is a purple center) on the bottom of my toe. It is pretty painful when I am exercizing otherwise it is not. Once it has hardened and peeled.

Hi,

It can be papilloma.

As first-line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.

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

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
