Hello,
I have studied your case. This callocity is most probably psoriasis. You can discuss with a skin doctor near by new. Diagnosis can be confirmed by small biopsy. As far as treatment is concerned you can apply steroid cream like Betamethsone for symptomatic relief. Avoid moisture or very hard shoes.
Oral steroids can be taken for limited periods.
