You, however, seem to be unclear on the concept of skin depth.
Skin depth is a measure of the depth to which the electric field
penetrates the material. It is not, as you seem to believe, the
depth at which the current flows.
Speaking of unclear on the concept... an electric field is simply a field in
which work is done on an electric charge -- IOW, where current flows.
Take a good look at a circuit board trace, if skin effect was a major
problem most would behave similar to Windows 3.0
