Epidermis: The upper or outer layer of the two main layers of cells that make up the skin. The epidermis is mostly made up of flat, scale-like cells called squamous cells. Under the squamous cells are round cells called basal cells.The deepest part of the epidermis also contains melanocytes.These cells produce melanin, which gives the skin its color.The other main layer of the skin is the dermis, the inner layer of skin, that contains blood and lymph vessels, hair follicles, and glands.he deepest part of the epidermis also contains melanocytes.

Cells involved in skin cancer. Skin cancer begins in your skin's top layer â the epidermis. The epidermis is a thin layer that provides a protective cover of skin cells that your body continually sheds.The epidermis contains three main types of cells: 1  Squamous cells lie just below the outer surface and function as the skin's inner lining. Basal cells, which produce new skin cells, sit beneath the squamous cells. 2  Melanocytes â which produce melanin, the pigment that gives skin its normal color â are located in the lower part of your epidermis. 3  Melanocytes produce more melanin when you're in the sun to help protect the deeper layers of your skin.
