Hi,
It may be a corn because it is painful. Callous is not painful. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
Apply Salicylic acid solution on the lesion twice a day. Do not give pressure on the affected foot while walking. Wear soft soled shoes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,
Callus can be treated either medically with salicylic acid solution or surgically with excision. You could apply a salicylic acid solution over the callus to soften it. But, I recommend you to get examined by your dermatologist for providing you the ideal line of management.
