Skin ID
Have you ever heard of the concept of the skin id? It’s a new term I just stumbled across in a scientific journal I was looking at in the doctor’s office. Apparently, two Malaysian doctors working on a project about cancers in the middle-aged noticed a statistical trend which indicated the skin, in fact, could be identified. I would have never imagined a way outside of DNA to identify the skin of an individual, but times are changing.
