Hello,
He may be having mechanical hands with callous formation. It may be due to excessive friction and ciornification.
If he developed pain he may need salysilic acid cream of local application with moisturizer cream.
If symptoms not improved need to surgical excision of the callous. Pease consult your surgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
