Keratosis can be caused by mechanical, thermal or chemical factors which leads to thickening of the keratin layer. Mechanical or frictional keratosis can cause acute blistering and ulceration if it is acute, while chronic mechanical keratosis results in epithelial thickening and hyperkeratinization.
