Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: If a person gets small dark spots on the bottom of her feet, sometimes they are warts. Other times they may be a fungus. If fungus, twice a day over-the-counter Lotrimin AF (clotrimazole) for 3-4 weeks may solve the problem. If warts, a primary care doctor or dermatologist will likely have to freeze them off. A doctor's exam can help get a diagnosis, and see if the spots aren't something else.

Accepted Answer

Sensitive Feet: There are more nerve endings on the bottom of our feet than any other area of the body per square inch. That makes them very sensitive. But sensitivity, like any other tendency, is like a bell shaped curve where there is an average sensitivity and 95% of the rest of the people on either side (more sensitive and less sensitive). You may be in the 2.5% of people who are very sensitive. Dr richblake.
