They hurt when i walk on them. The big one is like a small crater on my foot, it is curved around the edges. You can see black stuff inside of it but the rest are just dots that hurt

Hello @jacksparrow, I also would like to add my welcome to Teresa's.

If I may take of my moderator cap and put on my fellow patient cap, this looks like something I had when I was a teenager in high school. I am not giving medical advice, but in my own experience I had something that looked very similar to this on one of my fingers and it turned out to be a wart. It also bumped out of my finger in a crater shape and had black dots in the middle. It was extremely painful and I needed to get it frozen off in a doctors office.

This may be something different so it would be best to get it looked at by a medical provider in dermatology if possible.

@jacksparrow as @JustinMcClanahan commented, it looks like warts to me. I had them a long time ago and it was very painful to walk in any shoe. The only comfortable footwear was my ski boots! I had them burned off, a very easy process with immediate relief.
