Information about skin

The skin consists of three layers known as the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The nails and hair are also forms of skin. The skin of the face is the area of the forehead to the chin and ear to ear. Proper skin care is essential to good health and techniques such as shaving and piercing are forms of self-expression. Damage to the skin can occur due to sun exposure, smoke or frostbite exposure (associated with extreme cold), as well as the daily lives (eg, corns, bunions and calluses). Skin trauma (or injury) may include bites, bruises, burns and cuts or other wounds. Sunscreen can help prevent the damage. This is most important in patients who are sensitive to sunlight (photosensitivity), such as xeroderma pigmentosum, or polymorphic light eruption. Good nutrition can also promote healthy skin.
