Pinky toe wart
This problem of mine began around 6 months ago, i notice by the way i sat and studied i leaned heavily on my pinky toe. After a while it began to hurt so i stopped doing it. Later it lost its smooth surface as shown in the picture after i went tubing along with small black objects within it. It doesn't hurt to the touch but if i put any force on it i feel great pain. My family and others have told me its just a simple corn which i have never heard of. But supposedly it should go away if left alone and kept dry. However I've had this for nearly half a year now and i haven't seen it decrease in size. I will be getting a corn pad here soon to see if that does the trick, but would like to get a second opinion because i have my doubts.

Dear Dr.Mitnick
I usually do my research on the Mayo clinic website. I think your website is the most informative site I have found when researching foot pain.
I thank you for putting together this incredible website.

First, I want to let you know that you have the best web site I've found related to foot issues. (The only thing I had difficulty finding was the "ask a question" page.)

I received the orthotics Monday afternoon and began wearing them Tuesday. After two days I would say that I have noticed a huge improvement in the discomfort I have been experiencing. My foot feels better than it has in months.

I greatly admire someone like you who would donate and dedicate so much time and effort to helping strangers with no compensation. Truly, it is uncommonly kind. And your site is so intelligently arranged.

I used to work for a podiatrist (front desk) back during summers in college years ago, so I know the benefits of good care. Again, I want to thank you for an EXCELLENT website. It was so great to get to your site (top of google search) and actually find all the answers I needed EASILY and QUICKLY! Clearly you put a ton of work into it and I really appreciate it.
All the best,

By the way, millions of websites could use yours as a guideline on how to organize information and make the site user-friendly. Kudos to you!
