Hi, for the past 2 months or so I have had this, what a appears to be, a small circular chunk of dead skin on the bottom of my "index" toe. When i like press my finger up against it, it hurts, but I don't know exactly what it is. I'm not too good at explaining things so I am going to post a picture:

Well that isn't too great of a picture but i hope it is helpful enough. Thank you.

If you've had it for 2 months and it hurts I would go to your primary doctor or a podiatrist. Have you tried soaking it and keeping it covered so it doesn't get irritated by the friction of walking? I hope you find out and get it treated soon!!

Thanks for the advice and is possible for it to be a planters wart? Thats what my momy said it probably is and after looking at some of the symptoms, I am thinking that is possible. I guess I shall visit the doctor within the next week to get proffessional feedback.

Yes, it could be a plantar wart or a callus. If there are small black dots under the skin it is most likely a wart. Either way, you should see your podiatrist.
