Any skin growth characterized by overgrowth and thickening of the skin, such as a wart or callus, is referred to as a hyperkeratotic lesion. These lesions occur due to an increase in keratin, the protein that makes up the outer layer of the skin, often as a response to friction, pressure, or viral infections.
