'Corns' I agree Steven. Surgery is the only answer but recovery takes months. They often re-occur after only 3 months.

What are the symptoms of corns and calluses? A callus is a patch of compact, dead skin anywhere on the body that is subject to friction. There are different common names given to various types of calluses. A hard corn is a compact patch of hard skin with a dense core, located on top of a toe or the outside of the little toe. A soft corn is a reddened, tender area of skin, has a thin, smooth centre and is found between toes. A seed corn is a plug-like circle of dead skin, often painful, on the heel or ball of the foot. A plantar callus is a callus on the bottom - or plantar - surface of the foot.
