SIR – Being severely disabled, my elderly wife needs help washing and dressing and is constantly reminded to take greater care of her skin because it has become very thin and easily damaged – a common phenomenon.
However, this phenomenon does not affect one group of people whose skin remains thick throughout their entire lives. This group can be found listed under the anthropological name “Empees”.
