i have what looks like a big huge scar on the bottom on the ball of the foot, it has white marks in it, and it has been there as long as i could remember, but on friday i was walking in my socks and it's expanded a little longer. and it really hurts. i looks like slivers all in the bottom of my foot, and it hurts to walk, only because it like your walking on a really thick callus and it kinda hurts under it a little i don't know how to describe it any better, i've never seen this on any one else before!

If you don't think it's callus, you should see a podiatrist.
If it looks like callus, try running some sand paper over it. If it removes any, that's all it may be. It souinds like a long buildup.

I used to get those when I habitually wore high heels. I could get rid of them when they got painful by using the callus pads.
