Brief Answer:
Looks like a callosity, apply keratolytic & moisturising cream

Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it looks like a callosity.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply a keratolytic and moisturising cream on the affected area.
Various brands like xerina cream and moisturex cream are available in the market.
You can use either of the above twice daily on the affected area twice daily for 3-4 weeks.

Dr Asmeet
