You may have Foot corn , hardened layer of skin that develop from the skin's response to friction and pressure due to tight shoes.
Soak your feet in a warm bath with Epsom salts.
After the soak, pat your feet dry with a clean towel and moisturize with a hydrating lotion
Continue this process daily until your corn has softened.
If you don't see good results, You can purchase corn pads containing salicylic acid in pharmacy and apply them on your corn and it takes about two weeks to see the results
You should wear a suitable , comfortable shoes to prevent corns and calluses.
