Skin of thigh

Looks like

The skin from the groin and the buttock's fold down to the knee, thin and smooth on the inside.

What it does

Covers the body's largest muscles and the femoral vessels in the groin.

Keeping it well

Chafing between the thighs is common: dry skin and fitted clothing prevent it.
