I guess advanced aging is a war god thing.
On the topic of battle and physical deterioration, I've had a swordsman's callus on my right index finger for most of my life, but now that I haven't done kata or suburi in months the damn thing is in a constant state of flaking off and regrowing like a finger nail.
In between, it looks like it's turning into a teratoma or something.
"Feed me, Daddy!"
"AAAAAAAHHHH!!" *cuts off hand*
Gross exaggeration aside, I've been putting the lotion on its skin, but the little bastard's all, "Nyoo! I wann be a callus, and you can't stop me!" Rebellious little shit.
