Labelling and mitotic indices were studied in the epidermis of twenty-eight young men. A mean labelling index of 5.5% was found from the whole study and a mean mitotic index of 0.06%. Mitotic index particularly was extremely variable; indices between 0.002 and 0.438% were found in individual biopsie...
