Did you mean Hyperkeratosis?

GlossaryHyperkeratosis

excessive thickening of skin's outer layer due to keratin

Hyperkeratosis is a condition where the outer layer of the skin, known as the stratum corneum, becomes excessively thick due to an overproduction of keratin. This can result in rough, scaly patches on the skin and is often seen in conditions like psoriasis or eczema. For professionals, it is important to note that hyperkeratosis can be a response to chronic irritation or inflammation and may require targeted treatments to manage the underlying cause.
