Hello,
It may be callosity. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
Keratolytic ointment like salicylic acid ointment 6% may be applied. And avoid contact with hard surface responsible for the callosity.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
