Which layer of the epidermis is only found on thick skin like the palms of your hands?

1 answer

The layer of the epidermis that is only found on thick skin, such as the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet, is called the stratum lucidum. This translucent layer is located above the stratum granulosum and below the stratum corneum, providing an additional barrier in areas subjected to high friction.
