My daughter is limping from this hard rough spot with black dots on her sole. She has a dance recital tomorrow and is crying in pain. Need a fast fix!

Mild discomfort can sometimes be managed at home. Soaking the foot in warm water for several minutes can soften the skin and reduce irritation. Gently drying the area afterward helps prepare it for protective padding.

Cushioned pads with a small central opening can relieve pressure on the wart while walking. Comfortable, well-fitting shoes or soft insoles can further reduce strain on the affected area.
