∙ 13y ago
The skin on the palm of the hand and sole of the feet is called thick skin. It has an additional layer called the stratum lucidum, which is not present in thin skin. This layer of skin helps to provide extra protection against wear and tear in areas that experience a lot of friction and pressure.
