Did You Know? Your Skin is the Largest Organ You Have!

Featured

 

Information Courtesy of Medline Plus – - It’s true.  Your skin is the largest organ of your body.  It weighs between 6 to 9 pounds, and the surface area runs about 2 square yards. While your skin separates the inside of your body from the outside world, it also:

  • Protects you from bacteria and viruses that can cause infections.
  • Helps you sense the outside world, such as whether it is hot or cold, wet or dry
  • Regulates your body temperature

Conditions that irritate, clog or inflame your skin can cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, burning and itching. Allergies, irritants, your genetic makeup and certain diseases and immune system problems can cause dermatitis, hives and other skin conditions. To learn more about your skin, make sure to read through the Itching.com website for detailed information on skin related health.
