Learn English – the English name for the palm’s spots of the “working hands”

image-identificationword-request

People who are used to going to the gyms, after sometime they get thick skin in the palm — under each finger — because they work with their hands a lot.

What are these hard spots called in English?

Hand with hardened skin

When I put the word callus into my dictionary it showed me the same meaning as "warts", because we call "wart" everything on the skin that is hard, even-though there are big differences between them and the locations are different.

n.b. No specific word for it in my language, therefore I can not see the translation on a dictionary.
