and thesubcutaneous layer (the innermost layer). The thickness of the dermis
varies in function of the position. For example, eyelid dermis is quite thin,
but back dermis is about half an inch thick. The epidermis has three
sub-layers: the stratum corneum, the squamous cell layer and the basal
layer.The stratum corneum or outer layer of the epidermis is the layer of skin
that can be seen and felt. For proteins such as keratin, a fat,
water-impermeable envelope, and flat, tight dead cells to express the stratum
corneum. This layer is the barrier between the body and the outer layer of
keratin product world.The squamous stratum corneum and also transports basal
water.The is the lowest layer of the epidermis. This is where the skin cells
are reproduced and lead to the superficial layers of the epidermis. The most
common form of skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma, arises from this cell layer.

these cells. Melanoma, one of the three most common forms of skin cancer,
