Correct answer can not be given for the above question. As number of bacteria varies from person to person. In the same person at different times, say before bath and after bath. Bacteria are more in axilla and groin, as compared to uncovered area.
There are approximately 200,000 nerve fibers in a square centimeter of skin, which can vary based on the specific area of the body. If we consider the average length of a nerve fiber to be about 1 meter, this would translate to roughly 200 kilometers (or about 124 miles) of nerve fibers in a square centimeter of skin. However, this is a rough estimate, as the density and length of nerve fibers can differ significantly across different skin regions.

Skin usually covers about 2 square meters.

The average adult has about 8 to 10 square feet of skin covering their body. This can vary based on factors like body size and composition. Skin serves as a protective barrier and plays key roles in sensation, temperature regulation, and more.
1 square centimeter of your skin's surface contains over 100,000 cells.

The skin between the fingertips and elbows hosts a diverse microbial community, typically comprising millions of bacteria. Estimates suggest that there can be around 1,000 to 10,000 bacteria per square centimeter. The exact number varies based on individual hygiene, environmental exposure, and skin type. Overall, it's a complex ecosystem that plays a role in skin health and immunity.
Approximately 1 million cells are found in just one square centimeter of skin's surface. These cells include various types such as epidermal cells, melanocytes, and keratinocytes, which work together to protect the body and maintain skin health.
50 million
Your guess would be about one million microbes including viruses. But very little is known about the prevalence of viruses on normal skin. Traditionally, viruses on the skin have been termed pathogenic, ie harmful, but recent research disputes this.
if the bacteria is giganticus maximus then it is generally accepted as being 4, although there have been known cases of up to 100 (!) smaller bacteria.
Skin usually covers about 2 square meters.
Bacteria on the skin created odour.
The skin is home to a diverse population of normal flora, primarily consisting of bacteria such as Staphylococcus, Corynebacterium, and Propionibacterium, which can number in the millions per square centimeter. Various factors can alter the levels of these microorganisms, including changes in skin pH, moisture, temperature, the use of antibiotics, and skin conditions such as eczema or acne. Additionally, lifestyle factors like hygiene practices and diet can also influence the composition and abundance of skin flora. Disruptions to this balance can lead to skin infections or other dermatological issues.
The human skin cell shedding rate (called the desquamation rate) depends on factors such as the location of the skin being considered, the total area being considered, and the person's age. Even keeping the skin location, skin area, and age constant will result in different rates for different individuals. As an example, if we take the average rate of all subjects and all sample areas given in the Table 2 referenced above, we obtain an average rate of 945 cells per square centimeter per hour. Let's assume 945 cells per square centimeter per hour is close to the average desquamation rate for the entire body even though it depends on location and the table gives actual rates that vary from a low of 530 to a high of 1856. There are 10,000 square centimeters in a square meter. Average adult humans have a skin area of somewhere between 1.5 and 2.0 square meters. This means the average adult human has somewhere between 15,000 and 20,000 square centimeters of skin. Multiplying this area by the average of 945 cells per square centimeter per hour gives us 14,175,000 to 18,900,000 cells per hour or 340,200,000 to 453,600,000 cells per day
Dry skin can crack, allowing the bacteria to get below the surface of the skin.
