    swollen corn or callus

    Thank you again for the time you have taken to reply. It's a bruise by stepping a chip n seal bike trail doing 5 miles. Then it wasn't healed so I did more running after 3 days. I called it callus or corn because it feels like it. I've been browsing the web so I thought could be either or.
