yes. all skin cells divide and divide and divide all over your body.

Skin cells are damaged faster than your liver cells so the divide more often
Liver cells divide about once a year, and neurons (nerve cells) never divide once we are born (and when they are mature).
Skin cells of an adult must divide to replace old or damaged cells, maintain skin integrity, and perform repair processes in response to injury or infection. This continuous cell turnover is essential for keeping the skin healthy and functioning properly.
The Bascal Cell Layer, the deepest layer where cells divide to produce new skin cells.
Hair cells divide in the hair follicle, which is located in the outer layer of the skin called the epidermis. The hair follicle contains stem cells that divide and differentiate to produce new hair cells, eventually forming the hair shaft that grows out of the skin.
because the skin is constantly needing repair
Cells in the dermis (skin) divide the fastest. You are always rubbing the top dead layer off and that has to be replaced. An interesting fact: most of the "dust" in your house is skin cells.
Mitosis is the process by which cells divide to increase their numbers. When skin is damaged, mitosis allows skin cells to rapidly divide and replace the damaged cells, leading to the repair of the skin. This process helps in healing wounds and maintaining the integrity of the skin barrier.
No, different cell types divide at different rates. For example, skin cells divide rapidly, while heart cells divide very slowly or not at all. The rate of cell division is determined by factors such as their function and location in the body.
Examples of cells that divide rapidly after maturity include skin cells, intestinal cells, and blood cells. Examples of cells that do not divide at all after maturity include neurons and cardiac muscle cells.
Labile cells (the kinds of cells that can divide throughout their lifetime) normally do so within the organ they constitute. Some examples of labile cells are skin cells, cells of the gastrointestinal tract, and blood cells; however, blood cells divide in the bone marrow and lymphocytes divide in the lymph nodes. Other kinds of cells in the body are either stable cells (that do not normally divide--this includes nerve cells) and permanent cells (that do not have the ability to divide.)
