Hello
Looking at your description this could be related to chronic infection, occupational exposure or may be caused by hyperkeratosis

I would like more information to guide you better
His age and any relevant medical history
Any history of rashes or discharge from penis?

Since you are not with him so need not to worry.
To be on safer side I would advise you to consult your doctor for a battery of tests to rule out any STI like urine culture and VDRL, HIV or test for gonorrhoea

You should maintain good hygiene and you can ask your partner to use condom to avoid such infection

Hope this answers your question
please feel free to ask if you have anymore doubts, I will gladly answer you
Best wishes
