The basal cells in the lowest layer of the human epidermis successively change into polygonal spinous cells, flat granular cells containing alkaliphilic granules, and flat keratinocytes without nuclei and organelles. This process usually takes 28 to 45 days. The differentiation process of the epidermis is controlled by many factors and can be easily disturbed. Any factor that can cause basal cell division and differentiation can cause hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis. Such as cyclic adenosine monophosphate and cyclic guanosine monophosphate, prostaglandins, polyamines, inhibitors, adrenergic agonists and glucocorticoid hormones, all play a regulatory role in skin keratinization. Excessive keratin formation or accumulation of keratin can cause excessive keratinization of the stratum corneum. Incomplete keratinization or abnormal keratinization leads to parakeratosis and dyskeratosis. Forming symptoms of hyperkeratosis of the skin.
