Welcome to HCM.
These type of foot problems may be due friction or chronic rubbing with part of footware. Is it itchy? Repeated itching may also lead to it. The lesion may get secondarily infected. At that moment you can check whether it's getting rubbed with footware & if possible change that. Take antihistamines to avoid itching that will break the itching cycle.Along with that you can apply urea 10 cream twice daily for 3 weeks. Please consult a dermatologist & get examined if no cure. Good luck.
