Hi

You are dealing with a harmless and pretty common dead skin spur growing from the side of the cushion sole pad. Please leave be unless the spur is growing out to the side of the foot where it could rip and cause major problems; the same can happen when you cut too close to still live skin; hence our recommendation to best leave be.

Bumblefoot sores are typically skin infections on pressure sites where bugs from the floor get into tiny cracks in the skin.

Thank you very much for the sites she had the spurs for a couple of months so it’s not bad it’s grown a little but not to the point it’ll catch on something and can it cause dryness on her feet since her front feet look a little dry unless is it bumble feet I hope not
