Stratum lucidum (in thick skin) is a well defined epidermal layer found under the corneum region of the skin of the palms and soles. Main function of this stratum is to help the skin handle friction and also waterproof it. It is a thin transitional layer of epidermis found between the 'horny' and 'granular' layers.

What are the differences in structures of thick and thin skin?
Thick skin ( contains five layers: startum basala, spinosum, granulosum, lucidum and corneum)It has prominent stratum corneum and well- developed stratum granulosum. In addition ,it has additional epidermal layer which is named as stratum lucidum. On the top of this ,thick layer lacks integumentary appendages: hair follicles, sebaceous glands and arrector pili muscles. Generally, thick skin is located to those aeas subjected to wear and tear and mainly on the palms of the hand and soles of the feet. Thin skin ( contains only four layers: startum basala, spinosum, granulosum, and corneum)It has less prominent stratum corneum than thick skin and less developed stratum granulosum. But, it is without clear epidermal layer, stratum lucidum. Unlike the thick skin, thin skin has hair follicles, sebaceous glands and arrector pili muscles . Such type of skin is dominant and lines most of the body surface. stratum lucidum

What are the difference between the skin found on your finger tips and the skin found on the rest of your body?
There are a few differences actually. Firstly, the skin on your palms (includes palm-side of entire hand) and the bottom of your feet is thick skin, whereas the rest of your body is covered in thin skin (with your eyelids being the thinnest). Thick skin has a fifth layer in the epidermal stratum, the stratum lucidum, that lies above the stratum granulosome and is not found in thin skin. Also, since the fingertips are highly receptive to light touch, they are one of the few places that have Meissner's corpuscles. Meissner's corpuscles are the most sensitive (to touch) nerve endings in the skin. They can also be found in the lips, palms, soles of your feet and tongue.
