The role of the skin as a repository and masker of evidence is evaluated. Skin examination and testing are very important in the (a) identification of victims and suspects (for example, by fingerprints, lip prints, and fingernail marks), (b) recognition of patterns and shape of injurious energy impacts (for instance, recognition of type of injury and particular weapon), and (c) recovery of embedded evidence (for example, glass, wood, powder, explosives, and paint). It is also important to realize that the skin may conceal evidence by masking significant and/or lethal internal injuries.
评估了皮肤作为证据储存库和掩盖物的作用。皮肤检查和检测在以下方面非常重要：(a) 识别受害者和嫌疑人（例如，通过指纹、唇纹和指甲印）；(b) 识别伤害性能量冲击的模式和形状（例如，识别损伤类型和特定武器）；以及 (c) 找回嵌入的证据（例如，玻璃、木头、粉末、炸药和油漆）。还必须认识到，皮肤可能会通过掩盖严重和/或致命的内伤来隐藏证据。
