Brief Answer:
It is called callus or callosity.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
I have seen your image and it is callus or callosity caused by continuous friction.
Usually they are harmless but repeated friction may cause ulcer or infection.
For prevention avoid continuous friction and applied salicylic acid and zinc ointment.
Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck.
Regards
