How does a callus know to keep growing thick and hard?

When you get a callus, if you shave it off it grows back to the same thickness. How does the skin know that in the area its job is to be thick and rough now? How does it know how much you shaved off and to grow back that much?

Every time your foot hits the floor it whispers softly to it, come back thicker and stronger. So, the more you walk the thicker it gets! Just Joshing, as you use the skin it gets more compacted together. IF you shave some off but continue using the skin a lot it will of course grow back. IF you shave it off and do not use the skin so much it won’t come back.
