You will not find encapsulated nerve receptors in the epidermis layer of the skin. These nerve receptors are typically found in the dermis and subcutaneous layers of the skin where they help to sense touch, pressure, and temperature.
Specialized nerve endings such as Meissner's corpuscles and Pacinian corpuscles are found in the dermis layer of the skin. These nerve endings are responsible for sensations like touch, pressure, and vibration.
its the sensory neurone ... silly ;D
No. Skin does not sense temperature. Nerve endings in skin sense temperature.
The skin and mucosa of the cheeks and gingiva are primarily innervated by the buccal nerve, a branch of the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V3). Additionally, the mental nerve, also a branch of the mandibular nerve, supplies sensation to the gingiva and skin of the lower lip and chin. Together, these nerves provide sensory innervation to the areas of the cheeks and gingiva.

I was just at the doctor and asked about an intense itching on my back. She diagnosed it as a pinch skin nerve. Apparently itching, with no visible rash, is a classic symptom of this type of pinched nerve.
There are approximately 200,000 nerve fibers in a square centimeter of skin, which can vary based on the specific area of the body. If we consider the average length of a nerve fiber to be about 1 meter, this would translate to roughly 200 kilometers (or about 124 miles) of nerve fibers in a square centimeter of skin. However, this is a rough estimate, as the density and length of nerve fibers can differ significantly across different skin regions.
