Can't diagnose: Can't diagnose the lesions by the description. I would be careful as 'bathroom surgery' can lead to complications. Please consider evaluation by podiatrist. Take care.

Nucleated Callus.: Let's see, You tried to remove them with a scraper, so they are probably thick. The sores are painful, so probably not neuropathic. Your age minimizes the chance of the sores being warty in nature. Pain with direct weight bearing , means the sores are probably under the metatarsal heads. The possibility of Intractable plantar keratosis in high. This condition are best treated by a foot specialist.
