I was thinking the other day, if all the "sensors" in your body for making you feel hot are in your skin, then surely removing the epidermis would be the last layer needed to be removed to avoid feeling hot.
Actually yes. People with severe burns over a large part of their body wind up with massive issues as far as keeping their body temp up. But if you're burned that bad then you usually have much bigger things to worry about anyways. However your epidermis is mostly dead tissue so to have any real effect you need to go a little deeper and remove the dermis too. So if you skin yourself it can help keep your body temp down.
If you know, you know.
