Wound in strong hand is basically healed and support hand completely healed.

Some thoughts which may be off base. I see a gap between right grip and frame at the top. This likely is not a factor. I think that the gun is twisting slightly in your hand. Extra "sub consciously" effort not to squeeze too hard against the laser switch and how this switch affects your grip are the two variables that I think are bringing about the irritation.
Looks like the grip gap at the hump is catching skin and twisting it during recoil. If those CT stocks were pants, they’d be baggy and hanging around a gang bangers’s butt. JMO.
Switch stocks! Those are ill fitting.

Dan,
I had the EXACT same problem, with the exact same gun, in the same spot.
I tend to grip my gun really high. I also tend to shoot a LOT of rounds through it during practice sessions.
So a good number of years ago while shooting quals at the range, I cut the web of my hand, and peeled off a good chunk of skin, and it was a bit of a bloody mess. I decided I needed to fix the problem.
I came up with a "temporary" solution.
I took a foam earplug and sliced it in half. I then super glued it to the back of the frame, right at the top, where the backstrap stops, and the curve begins.
I figured it would only last a range session or two. Many range sessions later it was still on there, and still cushioning the web of my hand exactly where I needed it.
It actually stuck on so well, that one time when I was back at my office cleaning my J Frame, I eventually took a sharpie/Magic Marker, and colored the orange foam ear plug black to match the gun. It stuck on the gun like that for about 10 years until it finally became so compressed from shooting that I tore it off when I did a complete tear down of the gun to replace a broken firing pin.
This is not the greatest picture, but you can see the foam ear plug, painted black glued on the back of my 442 here:
Give it a try.
It is simple and extremely cost effective. Depending on how much you shoot your gun, will depend on how often you will need to replace it. Mine lasted for a good few thousand rounds before it became rather compressed.
I know it is a rather redneck solution, but it worked for me!
There may be "cooler" solutions out there, but this worked perfectly for me.
Occam's Razor!
slightly better pic I found.
Had to look for a picture with the back strap visible... but that is what the rear of LG-405s look like. Little less likely to have hand issues with it.
OK, the bottom picture tells me that your skin is being trapped between the corner of the metal frame, and your underlying bone. Two hard surfaces are combining to rasp a hole in your skin. Several small, light-weight weapons have done this to me, over the years. I believe you will need to find grips that fundamentally change the way your hand fits the weapon.

If I were going to shoot 100+ rounds at a time I would consider pachmayer or similar. The 405's are another option
