To the bone

[Jaskin]

Hello,
We say striped to the bone or frozen/chilled to the bone.
What other words can we use with that idiom ?

Can we say : He is sceptical to the bone ?

If not then what idiomatic expression we use to say sb is an extreme sceptic ?

"to the core"

'as (something) as they come" - 'as sceptical as they come'. Some people are a littlel sceptical, some very sceptical. 'as they come' implies, you can't find any sceptics more sceptical than this sceptical man!
