Detailed explanation-1: -The thickness of each layer of the skin varies depending on body region and categorized based on the thickness of the epidermal and dermal layers. Hairless skin found in the palms of the hands and soles of the feet is thickest because the epidermis contains an extra layer, the stratum lucidum.
Detailed explanation-2: -The thickness of the epidermis varies in different types of skin, i.e., thinnest on the eyelids (0.05 mm) and thickest on the palms and soles (1.5 mm).
Detailed explanation-3: -How does the skin of your palm differ from that on the back of your hand? The skin on your palm is thick skin. Think skin has an extra layer of skin for protection and does not grow hair as where the back of your hand is thin skin, grows hair, and the nerve endings are closer to the surface making it more sensitive.
