Brief Answer:
Surgical removal or salicylic acid+lactic acid application

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com. I have read your query. I understand your concern.I have seen the attached photographs also.
It looks corn to me only. For corn, the best treatment is removal of corn by pairing and cautery under local anaesthesia. It can be done by an expert dermatologist under local anaesthesia on OPD basis itself. However if you want to avoid surgery, he may apply Salicylic acid and lactic acid containing preparation under vaseline cover.
I would advise you to visit your doctor so that he can examine him and give the prescription. You can share my opinion with him. I hope it helps.
Take care.
