Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Excess friction or pressure on the skin will lead to the formation of a callus, which is a thickened area of skin that forms in response to constant irritation or pressure. Carcinoma and melanoma are both types of skin cancer and are not related to excess friction or pressure. Papillae are small projections on the surface of the skin and may become more visible if the skin is rubbed excessively, but they do not develop due to friction or pressure. Stretch marks are caused by rapid changes in weight or growth and do not relate to friction or pressure.
