Epidermal and dermal thickness [mm] in newborns in the first 24 hours of life in three examined sites – on the outer side of the forearm, on the abdomen, and on the thigh (epidermal thickness values on the forearm and thigh were normally distributed, while other values were non-normally distributed)
