A member asked:
Are there particular areas of the body, such as the penis or scrotum, which are more vulnerable to contact with chemicals or things in the environment, or can all skin be treated the same?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If you think of the bottom of your feet, it is truly a thickened tissue & hard for anything to get through. Your genitals, eye lids & some other areas are thin tissue & absorb chemicals faster. Treatment varies with tissue type.
