 Did You Know?
Fingerprints develop in a fetus at about 13 weeks and remain the same throughout a person's life. Every individual has his or her own unique set of prints. Minor cuts, scrapes, and burns can temporarily affect the ridge patterns, but the original pattern is repeated on the newly healed skin. More serious injuries that reach the deeper layer of the skin, the dermis, can damage the cells that promote skin growth and leave a scar. Still, an identity could be established from the non-scarred areas, as well as from a person's palms and footprints.
