Family practice: You probably have a planter wart. These are difficult to treat without medical supervision. They usually need excision and/or cryosurgery. It may take several treatments to get to the core.

See a podiatrist: Warts on the bottom of the foot have to be handled differently than elsewhere on the body. They tend to callus up easily, making medication therapy less effective. Cutting, burning or freezing can penetrate the dermis and cause permanent scarring. I prefer to shave them down a bit and apply canthradine, which will cause a blister and lift them off. It often takes repeat treatments, but won't scar.
