I am not sure what it is but here's what I've tried and why:

I thought it was a callus at first so I cut it off... it grew back.

Then I thought it might be a corn or something [I've never had any foot problems so I was just buying random stuff at the store] so I bought some salicytic acid bandaids which killed all the skin around the area and made it fall off like a callus, but left these like... indents that are that darkish color still there. They bled a little, but not like when I cut the thing off [where it didnt bleed ALOT but like... the little holes bled some].

Btw, I may sound crude, but I did use rubbing alcohol to cleanse the cut when i noticed it was bleeding [both times >_> lol]

It began to get bigger and spread to my other toe as you can see. The darker colored one is the original area and the yellower one is the newer area. More is beginning to spread on the bottom of my first toe as well.

I asked the pharmacist what I should buy and he thought it was an infection so I should try anti-fungal cream [clotrimazole] and neosporin. I've been doing that for a week now and it is growing still. I'm being very generous with my neosporin/foot lotion stuff as well so it isn't because I don't put enough on. I also was putting it on 3+ times a day.

It is sensitive to pressure as well.

Any help would be much appreciated, I've looked online for foot fungi and warts and all sorts of other stuff and this doesn't fit anything I could find.

Thanks!! [plz] haha

My advice would be to see your primary doc. Looks like you could have a plantars wart in which at that size you probably can't get rid of. You need to have it removed by your Dr. as their roots go deep. You may search plantars wart for an explaination and best wishes.

It is indeed like fungus infection. You should contact either a dermatologist or try some other anti fungal medicines.
