While these warts are typically not painful, they are highly sensitive to pressure. Individuals with plantar warts may also suffer from a lot of pain due to movements. A minor surgical procedure is one of the solutions to get rid of the warts. [pressadvantage.com]
The pinched nerve can become swollen and painful. This often occurs at the base of the third and the fourth toes. Standing or walking for a while can increase the pain. Neuroma Removal The enlarged portion of the inflamed nerve is removed. [heartlandspineinstitute.com]
- Swelling
Usually patient refer these bumps as nodules, cyst, knot, swelling and lumps. Whatever you name it, it is a swelling or a growth visible on bottom of foot which is resulted by an underlying pathological process within bottom of foot. [paincare.org]
In addition to medication to relieve inflammation, cortisone may be injected into the underlying bursal sac to rapidly reduce pain and swelling. [footandanklespecialistsofmarin.com]
The skin around the ulcer is often discolored brown and there is usually a great deal of swelling in the legs and feet. Treatment of stasis ulcers involves the of control of any infection and the control of swelling. [beiserpodiatry.com]
Complications that may indicate an infection that requires antibiotics include pus-like drainage from the callus, increased pain and swelling, and fever. [healthcommunities.com]

- Surgical Procedure
In severe cases, however, a surgical procedure, called an osteotomy, is performed to relieve the pressure on the bone. The procedure involves cutting the metatarsal bone in a “V” shape, lifting the bone and aligning it with the other bones. [laurelfootandanklecenter.com]

Synonyms for clavus include callosity, a hyperkeratotic response to trauma; corn, heloma, or a circumscribed hyperkeratotic lesion that may be hard (ie, heloma durum) or soft (ie, heloma molle); and callous, callus, or a diffusely hyperkeratotic lesion [emedicine.medscape.com]
A hard corn is called a heloma durum, while a soft corn is called a heloma molle. The location of the soft corns tends to differ from that of hard corns. Hard corns occur on dry, flat surfaces of skin. [en.wikipedia.org]

Neurologic
- Irritability
Chemical and mechanical irritation causes extensive cross-linking. This makes the calluses very thick and sturdy. Increased pressure and irritation causes a buildup of thick skin at the those sites. Especially on the ball of the foot and heel. [michiganfootdoctors.com]
This can minimize irritation of current plantar calluses—and prevent new ones from occurring. To help a plantar callus disappear more quickly, KidsHealth recommends soaking your feet in warm water. [livestrong.com]
Why Calluses Form The abnormal pressure, rubbing or irritation on your foot is the simple answer as to why calluses form. The answer becomes more complex when you look for the underlying cause behind the irritation. [foundationpilates.com]
Women tend to develop the condition more than men because of irritation from rigid heel counters in shoes that rub up and down on the back of the heel bone. [premierfootclinic.com]
Callus A callus is a broad-based or diffuse hyperkeratotic lesion of relatively even thickness, usually found under the metatarsal heads at a site of friction, irritation, and pressure. [aafp.org]

Prognosis and outcome could be underpinned by classification provided that quantitative methods are added, e.g. visual analogue scale for pain and an assessment based on a validated health tool. [jfootankleres.biomedcentral.com]
Etiology
Biomechanical etiologies for plantar keratosis range from hallux abducto valgus and equinus to pes planus and trauma (see “A Guide To Biomechanical Etiologies Of Callus Formation In The Foot” at left). [podiatrytoday.com]
The principles of treatment should be to (1) provide symptomatic relief; (2) determine the mechanical etiology; (3) formulate a treatment plan that includes padding and modification of footwear; and (4) consider surgery if conservative measures fail. [aafp.org]
The etiology of plantar fasciitis remains controversial but is likely to involve a biomechanical imbalance. Though often presenting along with heel spur, they do not appear to be causally related. [icd10data.com]
