Hi,

It may be a callosity most probably. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to apply salicylic acid ointment 6% on the areas affected. Take cap vitamin A and vitamin Efor long time.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
