Why‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ skin on feet becomes hard and thick?

Hard skin on feet develops gradually due to constant pressure and friction. This thickening is the skin’s way of protecting itself from mechanical stress. Ignoring these changes can lead to painful cracks and infections. Proper moisturising and supportive footwear are key to maintaining healthy, flexible foot skin. Addressing discomfort early prevents further complications.
