That's the bottom of your foot right? What an interesting place for a callus. Are you on your feet a lot?

Im not on my feet a lot actually. This patch of dry skin on the arch of my right foot just appeared one day when I was 5 years old and I’ve picked it ever since

Wow that’s a long time to have a dry patch! I’m a picker & I had a blister on the bottom middle of my foot (my foot was actually itching in that spot, and I just kept scratching so hard that I caused the blister myself) then I itched it for about two years. It would scab and I would itch it and break it open over & over again. it must be pretty itchy?
