Pressing a sharpened pencil tip causes more pain on your finger than pressing the

Answer 1

Answer:

A writer’s callus is an area of accumulated dead skin cells that form as a result of repeated friction against your finger. Also sometimes called a “writer’s bump” or a “nerd bump,” these calluses usually form from repeated use of pens, pencils, or other writing utensils.
