I had something similar, a friend who is a podiatrist gave my foot a squeeze and it clicked which apparently is an indicator, but a scan at the hospital came back negative.
I think I had a couple of weeks off and loosened my shoes. It's been alright since, although I feel it from time to time. Not too bad though.
as an aside, my race tonight was officially my slowest ever on the course. ho hum

Trainers are new and fitted in the running shop
This does not necessarily mean it's not the shoe. Are you running lots on road? I find hot spots are more common from the continual hard, flat terrain, and much less likely to happen on trails.
Could just be the sock bunching up a bit, could be a bit of grit under the insole, etc to cause a hot spot. Rule out the simple things first.
I've had a Mortons neuroma removed from both feet - in through the top, cut out, stitched up and crutches for a few weeks.
I'd really like to believe that it's not coming back.
Trainers are new and fitted in the running shop, so I'm going to hope its tightness elsewhere.
To the physio!
