It looks like a corn in the palm.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the question.
This seems like a corn on the palm.
Is it painful?
If not then nothing needs to be done, just apply moisturising cream to soften it.
You could consult a Skin Specialist who can do pairing to remove it, but it should not trouble you much. Get it evaluated if it is painful on touching.
It is not anything to worry about.
Take care and do let me know if there are any queries on this issue.
