A member asked:
Which body parts or areas are the most sensitive to pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fingertips and: Forehead! At least according to a recent study at the university college London! They used lasers to test pain perception (however they did not test known painful areas like the eyes and eardrums! I never considered the forehead to be that sensitive to pain, but that's what their research showed!
