    GlossaryPlantar Hyperkeratosis

    thickened skin on foot soles from repeated friction or pressure

    Plantar Hyperkeratosis, commonly known as a plantar callus, is a thickening of the skin on the soles of the feet due to repeated friction or pressure. This condition results from the skin's natural defense mechanism to protect underlying tissues, often manifesting as hard, rough patches that can cause discomfort or pain when walking.
