What causes a fingerprint marking?

A fingerprint is a unique pattern of ridges and valleys on the skin's surface, primarily caused by the arrangement of sweat pores and genetic factors. The ridges are raised portions of the skin, while the valleys are the low points between the ridges. This unique pattern forms during fetal development and remains relatively unchanged throughout a person's life.
