I have this thing on my foot. You could call it a sore I guess. It feels like grated cheese and looks like it went through a grater. Its started about 3 days ago. At first my foot was just sore and then the sore developed. Now today it turned green and looks moldy. I don't know what to do cause it hurts to walk. Any suggestions?

Looks like a wart. Find a reputable Podiatrist and have it removed
Looks like a plantar wart. They are EXTREMELY painful to have cut out so I'd do absolutely everything you can to avoid a scalpel to the bottom of your foot. There is some evidence (believe it or not) that duct tape applied to the skin (for MANY weeks) may help speed their resolution. AND, the duct tape does not have to be placed directly over the wart according to to the studies.

While the banana peel over the wart may also work (if duct tape can work what's to say a banana peel can't) however, I'd be cautious putting the peel on your foot. I'm sure you've seen cartoons...
In any event, the traditional do-it-yourself method is to file the wart down until it is quite painful (even bleeding a little) and then applying salicylic acid (found at any pharmacy) over the wart and placing a bandage over it. From experience, this is miserable but does - eventually - work (2-3 MONTHS when applied every other day). Typically, warts will resolve themselves over 2-3 years - so the text books say - but I don't know anyone who has not intervened one way or another due to the pain and irritation of plantar warts.
Best of luck, read the article linked above.

Well, it certainly doesnt look like anything awful like a cancer ..so if in fact it is a plantar wart I would try the unusual technique of using a banana peel taped over the wart every day for 10 days...sounds crazy but some of my patients have had luck with it...
