For those of your who are following this link on managing skin trauma, may I
suggest this article by Joan Sanders from the University of Washington.
She has published numerous articles on the relationship of a prosthesis and
the residual limb.
The listed article will illustrate that skin will adapt to mechanical forces
through normal cell replication.
The paper is a review of the literature with a good synopsis.
Sanders JE et al. Skin response to mechanical stress: Adaptation rather
than breakdown – A review of the literature.
J Rehab Res Devel 1995; 32(3):214-226.

Here is one more article. It may not be relevant to what is practiced in
the orthotic and prosthetic profession, but the article involved
application of alcohol to the skin.
