I would try not to put pressure on it it could crack and hurt even worse like all the ladys said keep it well moisturized and i would rap it up band aid not real thick. Or double the socks with moisturizer its probally going to be a while before it gets that new skin back cause its so thick and next time it bothers you i would just use a foot exfoliation scrub to it to make it smooth this way you dont have urge to pick ☺ Good Luck
