If it is really a callus, caused by simple friction between the two toes, the use of mole skin to cover it or a foam spacer between the toes should help the problem. If it is a soft corn, due to compression of opposing bony segments on adjacent toes, the foam spacer should still help if sufficiently thick, but surgery to remove one of the offending bony portions might be necessary for permanent relief.

 

Thanks! i think you got it right with the mole skin. Over the weekend i started placing mole skin on the middle toe that was rubbing against the callus on the second toe. it's already started to get smaller.
