Anyone know what this could be?
It's on the ball of my foot, it's been a bit sore for a few weeks but hurts with every step now! It's tender when I apply any pressure...

Looks like debris and the skin has grown over it. Happened to me once with a piece of stone, I didn’t realise for months that something was in there.

have you been outside barefoot recently?

Kind of looks like an old verucca to me. You could try putting the dots on it and seeing what appears in a few days.

Yeah. Looks like a verruca under there

Looks like a verruca to me, I've had several.
My experience is that they hurt to start with for a few weeks then it gradually eases off and I forget about them. They disappear on their own but it takes a year or two.

Either a verruca or a seed corn. See a chiropodist if it's a corn.

Corn

Thanks so much!

No idea where I could have picked up a verruca, - I have been barefoot in the house and could have potentially stood on something that's got stuck, and I'll Google seed corn!

Really helpful to narrow it down a bit thanks again
