Bottom of my feet had this at 27 I lost my lower legs due to gain green and this condition. Now wearing prosthetics the bottom of my stumps and knees are form this took about 11 years for it to come back. But still have it on my hands. In a way less mild condition.

I noticed in the video the causes of Hyperkeratosis are listed as... . Chronic physical or chemical damage . Chronic inflammation . Side affect of drugs. . Nutritional deficit. I have Hyperkeratosis but mine is caused by "Type VI collagenopathy" Bethlem Myopathy/Ulrich Congenital Muscular Dystrophy. In my case it is kind of handy as my skin is like iron, very thick and very tough, it is hard to even get needles through my skin. As an example... I use a hoof rasp to scratch my back... lol... Just thought I might note this as it also causes Hyperkeratosis.
