    i just noticed it earlier today. i wonder how long it's been there. i can't even feel it at all.

    so what should i do? just leave it? it's not bugging me.

    Hey Boogabaah,
    Your feet have gotten so thick that you really don't have to worry about it. What a good thing!

    i tried to take a picture of it, but it's just not happening.. (too dark, too blurry, too much sun)

    doesn't look infected or even red. so i'm just gonna let it work it's own way out.

    As others have said, don't do anything. Don't even worry about it.

    If you can't feel anything, it's not a problem and will eventually disappear. Even if you could feel it, I'd not worry about it either, unless it was causing you a lot of pain. The feet when left in their natural state, that is bare, will usually take care of themselves.

    it's all the way under a layer of skin. i could probably pick it out, but whatever.

    You didn't say where it is in your foot, if you put pressure on the area does it hurt?

    Yeah don't even worry about it. It's just trapped in the outer layer of skin. In a week or so the skin around the area will become flaky and the object will simply rub out.

    this makes me think about my father's times in the country , back in the 30's , when everybody -including full grown and even old men- was a seasonal barefooter from the beginning of spring up to october. they just washed their feet at the fountain in the yard just before going to bed . He once remembered some peasant guy like him that got a glass splinter in his foot and didnt care to pull it out because as he said "it is going to become flesh". people had such tough feet that they took fun in showing off !
