Pain And Swelling Under The Feet Due To A Callus. How To Get Rid Of It?

I there, I have what seems to be a callus under my foot at the top, under my toes( where I push off when i walk ). I have been in incredible pain and have started using a couple callus removers, with bandages ect and its started to look like its bruising , its got a purple colour underneath and it looks like its swollen. Now i Just got a job at BMW and it requires A LOT of walking and driving cars up and down ect. It started when I got the job two weeks ago. I have been limping and avoiding putting all my weight on that spot on my foot. What are your thoughts of what I should be doing to get rid of this. I work full time and it really needs to go away.

Hello..Thanks for your query

It is important to get your self checked by a dermatologist in this case.This would help you to confirm if you are having callus or plantar warts .In either case , the removal method is surgical removal of the extra thickened area in the soles.Medical methods do not work very well here and also it takes lot of time to reduce the thickness of the callosities.
Hence i would advise a dermatologist visit soon; if you have plantar warts , they may potentially spread to the surrounding areas .
Hope this is helpful
take care!
