Symptom #6: Hard Patch

The surface of our bodies is generally quite soft. We have an elastic skin covering soft materials below. This means we are less well protected than animals that have a tough outer shell, but our size means that a tough shell will be too heavy for us. Some conditions can cause areas to become quite firm, however.
