Q: best way treat tender swollen spit on ball of my foot that looks like callus?

: Splitting of the skin is due to dryness therefore a moisturizer would help. There are also insoles that will help prevent the formation of callous tissue. Spenco is one of those insoles. If this does not resolve your problem consider custom orthotics made by a podiatrist.
