I've got some hard skin that's formed on my right hand little finger, and it's making me itch constantly. Once I start scratching, it's hard to stop. I'm really not sure what's going on and it's getting kinda annoying. Could this be something serious or do you think it's just dry skin? Any advice on what I should do next would be super helpful.

If it really hard and pigmentation is seen that could be a type of psoriatic patch, avoid scratching and keep it moist, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
