Skin of forearm

Looks like

The skin from the elbow to the wrist, hairier on the back than on the thin inner side.

What it does

Covers the muscles that move the hand; the veins show through on the inside.

Keeping it well

Gets a lot of sun while driving and working. Scratches and small burns heal best kept clean and covered.
