  • Weight: Our skin accounts for about 15% of our total body weight.
  • Thickness: It is at its thinnest on the eyelids (about 0.5 mm) and reaches its maximum thickness on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet (up to 4 mm).
    Basic Layers of the Skin
    The skin is not just a covering we see from the outside; it is a complex structure consisting of three main layers:
  • Epidermis: The outermost layer. It provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone.
  • Dermis: The layer beneath the epidermis. It contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat glands.
  • Hypodermis (Subcutis): The deeper subcutaneous tissue made of fat and connective tissue, which provides insulation.
    The Most common formula used to estimate Body Surface Area (BSA) is the Mosteller formula:
