The collagen fibres were fine, loosely arranged and irregularly distributed in the papillary layer and were thick and densely arranged in reticular layer elastic fiber were rare and finely branched in the papillary layer and arranged perpendicular to skin surface. The reticular fibers were abundant in the dermo-epidermal junction, around the sweat glands, sebaceous glands and walls of the blood vessels and in the capsule of hair follicle.
