 The SKIN is the largest organ in the human
body.
 For the average adult human, the skin has a
surface area of between 1.5-2.0 square
meters (16.1-21.5 sq ft.), most of it is
between 2Ȃ3 mm (0.10 inch) thick. The
average square inch (6.5 cm²) of skin holds
650 sweat glands, 20 blood vessels, 60,000
melanocytes, and more than a thousand
nerve endings.
 The skin is the outer covering of the body.
 Human skin is not unlike that of most other
mammals except that it is not protected by a
pelt and appears hairless though in fact nearly
all human skin is covered with hair follicles.
 Because it interfaces with the environment,
skin plays a key role in protecting (the body)
against pathogens and excessive water loss. Its
other functions are insulation, temperature
regulation, sensation, synthesis of vitamin D,
and the protection of vitamin B folates.
Severely damaged skin will try to heal by
forming scar tissue. This is often discoloured
and depigmented.
 Skin has mesodermal cells, pigmentation, or
melanin, provided by melanocytes, which absorb
some of the potentially dangerous ultraviolet
radiation (UV) in sunlight.
 It also contains DNA-repair enzymes that help
reverse UV damage, and people who lack the genes
for these enzymes suffer high rates of skin cancer.
One form predominantly produced by UV light,
malignant melanoma, is particularly invasive,
causing it to spread quickly, and can often be
deadly.
 Human skin pigmentation varies among
populations in a striking manner. This has led to the
classification of people on the basis of skin color.
 The epidermis, which
provides
waterproofing and
serves as a barrier to
infection;
 The dermis, which
serves as a location
for the appendages of
skin; and
 The hypodermis
(subcutaneous
adipose layer).
 Epidermis, "epi" coming
from the Greek meaning
"over" or "upon", is the
outermost layer of the
skin.
 It forms the waterproof,
protective wrap over the
body's surface and is
made up of stratified
squamous epithelium
with an underlying basal
lamina.
The epidermis contains no blood
vessels, and is nourished by
diffusion from the dermis.
The main type of cells which
makeup the epidermis are
keratinocytes, melanocytes,
Langerhans cells and Merkels
cells. The epidermis helps the
skin to regulate body
temperature.

 The dermis is the layer of skin
beneath the epidermis that
consists of connective tissue
and cushions the body from
stress and strain.
 The dermis is tightly
connected to the epidermis by
abasement membrane. It also
harbours many
Mechanoreceptor/nerve
endings that provide the sense
of touch and heat.
DERMIS
 It contains the hair follicles, sweat glands,
sebaceous glands, apocrine glands, lymphatic
vessels and blood vessels. The blood vessels in
the dermis provide nourishment and waste
removal from its own cells as well as from the
Stratum basale of the epidermis.
 The dermis is structurally divided into two
areas: a superficial area adjacent to the
epidermis, called the  !%
&!#", and a
deep thicker area known as the !)

&!#"-
Ȉ The papillary region is
composed of loose areolar
connective tissue. It is named
for its fingerlike projections
called papil lae that extend
toward the epidermis. The
papillae provide the dermis
with a "bumpy" surface that
interdigitates with the
epidermis, strengthening the
connection between the two
layers of skin.
 Papillary Region
Ȉ In the palms, fingers, soles, and toes, the
influence of the papillae projecting into the
epidermis forms contours in the skin's
surface. These are called friction ridges,
because they help the hand or foot to grasp
by increasing friction. Friction ridges occur
in patterns that are genetically and
epigenetically determined and are therefore
unique to the individual, making it possible
to use fingerprints or footprints as a means
of identification.
 RE
I LVR REGION
 The reticular region lies deep in
the papillary region and is
usually much thicker. It is
composed of dense irregular
connective tissue, and receives
its name from the dense
concentration of collagenous,
elastic, and reticular fibres that
weave throughout it. These
protein fibres give the dermis
its properties of strength,
extensibility, and elasticity.
RE
I LVR REGION
 Also located within the
reticular region are the roots of
the hair, sebaceous glands,
sweat glands, receptors, nails,
and blood vessels.
 Tattoo ink is held in the dermis.
Stretch marks from pregnancy
are also located in the dermis.
Ȉ The hypodermis is not part of the
skin, and lies below the dermis.
Its purpose is to attach the skin
to underlying bone and muscle as
well as supplying it with blood
vessels and nerves. It consists of
loose connective tissue and
elastin. The main cell types are
fibroblasts, macrophages and
adipocytes (the hypodermis
contains 50% of body fat). Fat
serves as padding and insulation
for the body.
Ȉ Microorganisms
like Staphylococcus
epidermis colonize the skin surface.
The density of skin flora depends on
region of the skin. The disinfected
skin surface gets re-colonized from
bacteria residing in the deeper
areas of the hair follicle, gut and
urogenital openings.

The first and most important step in
treating Stevens-Johnson syndrome is to

causing the problem, your doctor may
recommend that you stop taking all
nonessential medications.

soothe blisters while they heal. Your health care

Ȉ In addition, you may receive one of the following types
of medications that are currently being studied in the
treatment of Stevens-Johnson syndrome:
 Intravenous corticosteroids. These drugs may
lessen the severity of your symptoms and
shorten your recovery time if started within a
day or two of when symptoms first appear.

skin may begin to grow again within
several days. In severe cases, full
recovery may take several months.
Ȉ It's difficult to prevent an initial attack of Stevens-
Johnson syndrome because you don't know what
will trigger it. However, if you had Stevens-Johnson
syndrome once, and your doctor determined that it
was caused by medication, be sure to avoid that
medication and others in the same class to prevent
another attack. If the herpes virus caused your

medications to prevent a recurrence.

usually more severe than the first episode and, in
many cases, it can be fatal.
