Hello,
* As per my clinical experience, the chronic issue of hyperkeratosis is not solvable with recurrent shaving for sure.
* There can be underlying callus formation or some sort of immune reponse of the body to particular concern.
* The best way to diagnose the issue is to discuss the need of biopsy of the area concerned with your dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
