A hyperkeratotic skin lesion is characterized by an excessive buildup of keratin in the outer layer of the skin, leading to thickened, rough, and often scaly patches. These lesions can occur due to various factors, including chronic irritation, pressure, or underlying skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis. Common examples include plantar warts, calluses, and seborrheic keratosis. Treatment typically focuses on addressing the underlying cause and may involve topical therapies or procedures to reduce the thickened skin.

What is any skin growth such as a wart or callus in which there is overgrowth and thickening of the skin?
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. While warts are typically caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), calluses develop as a protective mechanism against repetitive trauma. Both conditions can vary in appearance and may require different treatment approaches.
