Nuts and Bolts.: Your description describes a callus that could be either under the toe, or under the third metatarsal head. I believe that your callus is under the metatarsal. This problem is not an easy fix. The callus is the result of both anatomy and mechanics. Trimming the callus will do little for a permanent solution. A change in shoe style may help but the need for a thorough evaluation is needed.

I would see: a foot doc to ascertain why you are getting the allows and how to avoid it coming back…I.e. sometimes a metatarsal is putting too much pressure and so the bone needs to be elevated…or something of the sorts
