    Study Notes

    Skin Structure

    • The skin is the outer covering of the human body
    • It consists of three layers: epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis
    • The hypodermis stores subcutaneous fat

    Skin Conditions

    • Abnormal skin conditions can occur due to skin damage or internal body factors

    External Causes

    • Contusion: a discolored area of skin caused by trauma, resulting from blood escaping from damaged capillaries
    • Abrasion: damage to the epidermis, typically non-bleeding scrapes that don't cut into the dermis

    Internal Causes

    • Acne: a common skin disease caused by oils trapping skin cells in pores, leading to bacterial growth
    • Pimples: raised red bumps resulting from acne, considered imperfections of the skin
