A circular-raised growth is on the lateral side of my big toe, what is it?

Hello!

A few weeks ago I noticed a a growth on my big toe.  I have never seen anything like it before. The growth is definitely bigger than a wart/pimple and is roughly the size of a pea.  In regards to pain,  it only hurts when I put pressure on it/wear closed toed shoes.  I recently wore a pair of loose running shoes and was able to walk and do short sprints. Also,  I was able to trim some of the dead skin off the top but what remained was somewhat of a bloody core.  After trimming it,  it bled for a while so I wrapped it with a baby wipe and left it as is.  I assumed this growth was a wart so I went to my local store to buy "freeze away" wart remover and after 2 or 3 treatments over the next week it still showed no signs of going away.  I have corns on my other foot so I am aware of what they look like and these two are completely different, that is why I'm so confused on what this might be. If anyone has information please feel free to share,  anything helps.  Thank you!
