splinter in foot?
recently, i noticed an extremely sore area under my little toe on one of my feet. at first, i just left it alone, thinking that it was just a callous or something trivial. but then it started to hurt alot, and it was even painful to walk. the skin there was tough, like a callous, but there was like a hard raised circle in the middle. i was looking at it today and i used tweezers and a razor blade and i pulled the circle thing out, and it looked like my own skin had made a splinter into my foot. after i got it out, my foot bled ALOT from that area, but only for a little while. it was weird, but now it hardly hurts at all and i can walk fine. i put peroxide over the hole that was left in my foot, and i also put some neosporin over it. so, was there a splinter in my foot that my skin hardened around or what?

It was probably a sliver of glass. If it were an ordinary wooden splinter, your body would reject it, it would be pushed out. Glass for some reason is not pushed out by your body, so it stays under your skin, which then hardened around it to keep it from traveling (glass splinters can get into your bloodstream and move throughout your body). That would be my guess.
