Nah - I've had it for a good 5 years+ so I figure if it was gonna kill me I'd be dead by now. DOesn't hurt - I've even stabbed them with a knife before and it didn't hurt

You need to get a Sallcylic Acidtreatment with Lactic Avid and Flexible Collodion. That should take it away. Although be careful not to get it on surrounding skin.

I wouldn't be so sure, but from your description that is a form of a growth on your toe. Therfore Sallcylic acid is needed.

It'll probably take 6-8 weeks for it to dissapear, grab some polysporin when youg eti t, incase you get it on the skin around, it'll crack.

i still think its just a callous

what kind of shoes do you wear?
what type of work do you do? do you sit all day or walk around a lot?

Yep, reaffirms my position on the Sallcylic Acid. Make sure the amount of acid doesnt exceed 17% for the Lactib or the Sallcylic,more than that'll be murder on something so small.

It wouldn't be Off Topic if there wasn't some weirdness like people posting pictures of their feet

Maul - yea I know I have nasty feet. I only wear sandals where you can't see my toes

FoBot - usually just open toe sandals. I wear Skechers to work, but my big toes never come close to touching the shoe though

See a doctor. That doesn't look healthy at all. It could save you a couple of toes and the ability to walk.

then go with the acid like Qosis says, you can get a little square of the self sticky kind at Wal-Mart or a pharmacy
if it get worse or infected, i don't know anything about this and its all Qosis's fault :p


p.s. Good Luck!!
