Dear XXXX,
From the description you gave it appears that you are having a ??trophic ulcer....
i need to know a more detailed history... like...can you feel any sensation other than pain in the sole? are you a diabetic? are you having any neurological disorder?
better still if you can post a photograph...
in any case you need to see a plastic surgeon for the management of this condition.
regards,
Dr.
