Hi
You seem to have either developed a corn or a plantar wart over the sole of foot.
Such lesions tend to be extremely painful and cause great discomfort especially while walking.
I would advise you to see a local doctor as soon as possible for confirmation of diagnosis .
In the mean time you should wear soft canvas shoes so as to prevent any further trauma to the area.
Avoid walking barefoot.
