Neuropathy??: You may be having diabetic neuropathy in your hands, picking may do it but you may be chronically burning your finger tips and not knowing it. Be sure to protect your hands if that is the case. If just picking use a good unscented moisturizing cream to keep fingertips softer so you don't have anything to pick at if you smoke stop that might be cutting off blood to your fingers.

Depends on the cause: Many things can cause calluses. Some reasons that one may develop a callus include: viral infections (warts), friction, pressure, repedetive trauma, and a limitation of joint motion. Some genetic conditions may also cause people to develop calluses on the hands and the feet. Treatment depends on the cause of the problem. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.
