Question 1

can anything be done for hard skin on the top of my toes?

Accepted Answer

Corns: A podiatrist can treat this. May need conservative care or possible surgery.

Question 2

hard skin on top of middle toe?

Accepted Answer

More details.: You are not giving a whole lot to go on. Hard skin on the toe is usually a result of underlying bone rubbing on the shoe or a skin infection of some sort.

Question 3

i have these bumps on my toes and in between them. they're hard skin with a little hole at the top, it's very sensitive a little tap hurts. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Much easier: To diagnose with a picture you may be referring to hard and soft corns....which occur over bony prominences if that's what it is. If there is a hole though that is a potential problem and you should seek out treatment with a foot doctor.

Question 4

hi, i have a small (penny sized) lump on the top both my feet, underneath the start of the second toe. it feels mainly like hard skin. ?

Accepted Answer

Underneath=Callus: I believe you are referring the area under the foot at the base of the 2nd toe.  This indeed sounds like a callus which is an accumulation of dead skin.  This becomes hard and dense from the impact of weight bearing. This area under the 2nd toe is a fairly common location to get one.  One gets this from being active and also shows there is some weight transfer to this area away from the big toe.

Question 5

i have hard skin on top of the joint of my big toe on each foot. it can be shaved and skin gets smoother but always comes back & doesn't look nice.

Accepted Answer

See a podiatrist: Or orthopedic foot and ankle doc who can offer you a more permenant solution through a small surgical, procedure.

Question 6

bumps on both big toe knuckles hard skin on top and it feels like a hard little rock is on the inside also. no pain unless i wear shoes that rub on it?

Accepted Answer

Bunion pain: Sounds like the beginnings of bunion deformity pain.  A bunion is a deformity of the great toe joints where they are crooked instead of straight.  The best thing to help is to continue wearing wider shoes or off-load those areas and taken antiinflammatory medication for pain.  If nonsurgical treatment fails, you'll need to see a podiatrist for consult.  Hope this helps and best of luck!

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Question 8

Question 9

i seem to have a rash / infection on my toes. i have had athletes foot but it doesnt look like that. its on top of my toes, sometimes itchy, my skin is also slightly red/ inflamed. have been using mycota cream but it doesnt seem to help.

Accepted Answer

Rash: This rash would need to be examined to be able to provide diagnosis or treatment recommendation. Any chance of COVID toes?

Question 10

i have a burning sensation to the top of my toes and the left side of my head, behind my ear, burns when touched.  ?

Accepted Answer

Paresthesia: Causes depend on the exact location of the paresthesia sensations, but typically include a physical nerve injury type condition (e.g. A nerve entrapment or some type of pressure being applied to a nerve directly or to the spinal attachment of that nerve), or a disease condition affecting the nerves (e.g. Neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and others).
