The skin on the ears is generally thinner than that on the scalp. The scalp has a thicker dermis and more layers of skin due to its hair follicles and protective functions. In contrast, the skin on the ears is more delicate and has fewer layers, making it more susceptible to injury and environmental factors. Thus, while both areas have unique characteristics, the ears have thinner skin overall.
