Accepted Answer

Clogged sweat gland: A clogged gland on the bottom of the foot is like a stubborn  painful callus.  Use Vicks vapor rub to weaken the callus around the clogged gland, then par it down.  Then use spray deodorant (the armpit kind) to decrease sweat, this decreases friction.  If that doesn't help, try otc inserts from a drug store to help off-load callus area. Lastly, see a doctor to par it down.  Hope that helps!
