What should I do next? and What is it?
Could be warts. I recommend seeing a Dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and advice on appropriate treatment options based on his or her diagnosis.
I agree these are probably plantar warts and appear to be spreading. There are many treatments that can be used, however none are always effective and several may have to be done multiple times. I often will curette the lesion and desiccate the base under local anesthesia or use laser for lesions that are unresponsive to more conservative therapies. Good Luck.
From the picture these two lesions appear to be warts. While an acid plaster can peel away some of the skin, it is unlikely to actually get of a wart on the bottom(plantar aspect) of the foot. What we see on the skin is like the tip of an iceberg--the real problem is how big the lesion is under the skin. When you put pressure on it there is pushing against the nerves. That can explain the pain and the feeling of something moving in your foot. I think it likely that you will have to have the lesions taken out in order to get relief. I would seek out a local podiatrist or dermatologist to have this done. This can be performed with just a local anesthetic and keep you walking.
Almost surely these represent viral plantar warts. I think you should use the topical 40% salicylic acid plaster available over the counter trimmed down to fit the warts and taped in place each night for 6 to 8 weeks . Paring the warts down gently every other day may help with penetration and comfort, but do not be too aggressive. A visit to a dermatologist or podiatrist could also help.
In the diagnosis of those lesions, likely they were felt to be warts, for which your treatment would work. Since the treatment (with acids) are not working, it's time to go back to your foot specialist and have them re-evaluated. I'd suggest debridement (shaving the lesion) and an in office biopsy to know "exactly" what they are.
A formal evaluation and treatment by a podiatrist (or dermatologist if there is no podiatrist in your area)is indicated if over-the-counter treatments are not providing resolution. A definitive diagnosis and treatment plan would depend on what the exact findings are based on examination. Excision (surgical removal)of the painful lesions is often necessary, but other office treatments or prescriptions may be needed based on the findings during the examination by the podiatrist or dermatologist.
