Skin & appendages
Looks like
The thickest skin of the body, its deep layer (dermis) most of all, over the shoulder blades and the chest's back.
What it does
Protects the back, which the body cannot see or reach.
Keeping it well
Melanomas often start here, where no one looks: ask someone to check the moles, or photograph them.
