Those are called calluses, and they happen to people who work a lot with their hands. This is just a result of your skin getting harder so it doesn’t stretch and cause blisters. After a long time of not doing that activity, your hands realize it no longer needs to be firm, so it goes back to its natural state, but it usually takes a few months for this to happen.
