Painless growths felt like stones in her shoes

Cheryl L. Green, PA-C

 

A 24-year-old white female presented to the dermatology clinic with a 2-year history of growths on the soles of her feet. The growths were not painful when walking, but felt like “a bunch of stones in her shoes.” The patient tried several OTC callous-removal products, but they were ineffective. The growths appeared to be more prominent in the weight-bearing areas of her feet.
