Writer\u2019s Callus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A writer callus<\/strong> on the finger is a thickened area of skin that forms on the finger or fingers that are used for writing. It is caused by repetitive friction or pressure on the skin and is common in writers, musicians, and other individuals who use their fingers for repetitive movements. It is typically not harmful and can be treated by using moisturizing cream or by using a finger cushion. In some cases, if it causes pain or discomfort, it may need to be treated by a doctor.<\/p>\n
