    THAT, my good man, is the original blanking plate/rubber hole bung ORIGINALLY intended for the iphone 7 headphone socket, but as you can see it was less than attractive so they blanked it off instead.

    Keep it.. might be worth money one day

    Let's play a game:

    How many hairs?

    Your task is to go back to the original image and look at it for no more than 2 seconds then come back here and report how many hairs you think you can see.

    GO!

    OP,

    If it's painful, use Savlon Advanced healing gel for a few days.

    If it feels hard, it's a callus that's formed because of friction between that area of your foot and your shoes/trainers.
    You can invest in a callus treatment gel like Bazuka but if I were you, I would use a diamond drill ( it's actually called Scholl Velvet Smooth Diamond Pedi Electric Hard Skin Remover ) and then apply vaseline. This will take a few weeks of drilling and vaseline application before it levels up.



    The poor man's alternative would be to soak in warm water for half an hour and then use a disposable razor to peel the skin a few times. Apply vaseline and repeat in a few days' time.

    Wish you all the best and a speedy recovery.

    Well if Herr Doktor Oetker says so it must be true. If in doubt get a second opinion from this guy:

    I love that you've come to a tech forum to ask for advice on a warty toe. I'm sure you will only get quality advice here.

    In my capacity as someone who uses the internet, I have determined that it is none of the three major toe deformities that exist amongst standard humans.

    Hey, I am a doctor (just not a medical one!)

    The lad I used to run with developed a couple of these due to the shonky old trainers he was using.

    Plain sandpaper would be cheaper, and work just as well. 90% of the stuff in that section of boots can be found for much less and much better quality in a hardware store
