PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The dermis is a tough but elastic support structure that houses nerves, blood vessels, lymphatics, and cutaneous appendages (pilosebaceous units, eccrine and apocrine sweat glands). It is thicker (averages 1 to 4 mm) than the epidermis which is about as thin as piece of paper. The dermis varies in thickness.

Detailed explanation-2: -Yes, the dermis layer of skin is thicker than the epidermis layer of skin. The dermis layer is approximately two millimeters thick while the epidermis is only 0.1 millimeters thick. This makes the dermis around 20 times thicker than the epidermis.
