Callus on feet
There is a callus on the foot that appears hard, thickened, and yellowish in color. The surrounding skin is rough and firm to touch. The area becomes painful when pressed, touched, or while walking, causing discomfort during movement. The hardened patch stands out compared to the normal skin and feels less flexible.

you are describing a callus, which commonly develops due to repeated friction or pressure on that part of the foot
Next Steps
Soak your foot in warm water and gently rub the area with a pumice stone to soften it.
Keep the skin moisturized with a thick foot cream.
Wear properly fitting, cushioned footwear to reduce friction.
Avoid cutting the callus yourself, as this can lead to infection.
Health Tips
If the pain is significant, the callus keeps coming back, or you notice redness or swelling, it’s best to consult a dermatologist or podiatrist.

Well I would need more details, but it looks like the skin has hardened due to tight footwear. Especially people who are not used to wearing formal shoes can have this.
Next Steps
Change type of shoes
You can use a corn patch
Moisturize it well
if it still doesn't get better, you can contact me anytime.

It looks like a hard corn. Start by wearing soft, comfortable footwear and during nighttime you can soak your feet in warm water for 10-15 minutes everyday. You will have to follow it up with a cream/corn cap.
Next Steps
If pain/corn doesn’t reduce, contact me for further treatment.
