  Motivated by recent parity violating electron scattering experiments, we
compute the Neutron Skin Thickness (NST) of nuclei modelled as (quantized)
Skyrmions, the topological solitons of the Skyrme model. We show how in a
certain approximation, the result for the NST is oblivious to the fine details
of the (generally very complicated) quantum state of the soliton and only
depends on the total baryon number and the isospin number. Moreover, in the
leading order, the linear dependence on the asymmetry parameter is recovered,
as expected both from experimental data and other models of nuclei such as the
liquid drop model.
