A member asked:
Is there a difference between the top of the hands and the palm of the hands when it comes to skin protective properties?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pretty: Similar, but your palms appear redder because of increased blood flow due to more sensory nerves, so you sense better objects with your palms. Lips pretty close up there.
