Excess friction or pressure can cause the formation of a callus, which is a thickened area of the skin that develops as a protective response. Papillae are small bumps on the surface of the tongue and skin, stretch marks are caused by rapid weight gain or growth and appear as lines on the skin, and melanoma and carcinoma are types of skin cancer that may develop due to prolonged sun exposure or other factors, but not necessarily due to friction or pressure.
