I have an elongated a (about one inch long, maybe 1/4 inch wide)of thickened tissue on ball of my left foot. It runs plell to length of my foot is located between padded a underneath my big toe second toe. If I look closely,I can see several small, transpnt circular as at different points in a. As I touch a, I can feel circular as of thickened skin surrounding transpnt centers underneath surface. I am also beginning to notice tenderness in a when I walk had my primary c physician take a look. She did not see black or brown flecks associated plantars warts thought must be a callous. I have had warts on or parts of my body, however, have often seen se same circular transpnt as on raised warts. Is it possible to have plantars warts don't show brown or black flecks? Could those flecks simply be underneath surface not immediately visible?

The circular patches could be warts even though you do not see the black flecks. However, the area between the first and second toes is a common location for a corn or callus. Finally, you may have an inclusion cyst there. This simply means that a small foreign object like a piece of sand or tiny pebble got pushed into your skin and a cyst formed. All three of these possibilities can be diagnosed and treated correctly by a podiatrist. For an exact diagnosis, please see your local podiatrist.
