Meaning of "callosities" in English

Callosities refer to thickened and toughened areas of skin that develop due to repeated friction, pressure, or irritation, most commonly found on the hands or feet. These areas are typically formed as protective responses to prevent damage to the skin from external forces. Callosities are often seen in individuals who engage in activities that put stress on specific parts of their skin, such as manual laborers or those who frequently wear uncomfortable shoes. While generally harmless, callosities can sometimes cause discomfort or lead to other skin issues.
