Pachydermodactyly – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/191640860

Pachydermodactyly is characterised by epidermal and dermal thickening of the skin of the lateral aspects of the middle three digits of the hands. It is felt to be due to repetitive rubbing of the affected fingers of each hand against the fingers of the other hand and as such may be regarded as a form of obsessive-compulsive behaviour.
