What is hyperkeratosis?

Hyperkeratosis is a thickening of the outermost layer of the skin. This often occurs in association with an abnormal amount of keratin, one of the proteins that helps make up and protect the outer layer of skin. It may also occur as a defense against infection or irritation.
