Correction
Following publication of our article [1], we noticed that
the skin thickness measurement units stated in the
manuscript were incorrect. The correct units of mea-
surement is centimeters (cm) and not millimeters (mm)
as indicated in the article. This, however, do es not
change the statistical findings.
