Yes, the skin on your thumbs usually tends to be slightly thicker than the skin on your other fingers. This is because the thumb is used for gripping and picking up objects, resulting in more friction and wear on the skin.

When you go to swim why do you get prune stuff on your fingers and toes but not your body?

When you swim, the outer layer of your skin absorbs water, causing it to swell and wrinkle. This process occurs more quickly in areas with a thicker layer of skin, like your fingers and toes, hence causing them to prune. Other parts of your body have thinner skin layers, so they do not wrinkle as prominently.
