My guess is that silver will deposit in  all layers of the skin but that
the coloring caused by argyria  is from silver in the epidermis.

Subject: CS>Which layer of skin for silver deposit?

 

Excuse my pig ignorance, but which layer of skin is *OUR* silver
deposited, anyone know?  Skin has several layers so I'm curious to know
which layer it is?  Is it under the first or second, between the third
or fourth etc etc?
 
All articles I find relate to silver nitrate or something else, praps my
keyboard doesn't know how to ask the 'right' question!
 
I've got the dictionary ready for any scientific mumbo jumbo
translations <g>.
