I have hard skin on the major pressure points of the soles of my feet which can be scraped off daily and then grows back very rapidly what is this ?

Hyperkeratosis: This is thick dead skin that forms, especially if you walk barefoot or use thin socks. Make sure your socks are thick and use an exfoliating moisturizer like amlactim or urea cream.
