Pain point
A type of sensory point distributed on the skin and mucous membranes. It is a small, point-like area that only causes pain when various external stimuli are applied. They are scattered not only on the skin of the entire body, but also on the mucous membranes of the mouth, pharynx, and nasal cavity. There are 2 to 4 million of them. They can be easily detected as points that cause pain when stimulated with sharp, hard hairs.
