The thickness of skin varies significantly depending on its location on the body. It can range from 0.5 millimeters on the eyelids to 4.0 millimeters on the heels of your feet.
- Thinner Skin: Areas like the eyelids, lips, and inner arms have thinner skin due to their delicate nature and the need for sensitivity.
- Thicker Skin: Areas like the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and the back have thicker skin, providing protection against friction and pressure.
This variation in thickness is due to the different layers of skin and the varying amounts of each layer present in different parts of the body.
