Corn

Explanation:

Corn is a type of callus that generally forms on the smooth surface of skin. This type of skin is present on the fingers and toes.

The path along which the pressure is applied gives the callus its distinct shape. The path is generally elliptical while there is a rubbing motion. Corns can cause tissue damage or ulceration if not treated.
