The largest organ of the body is the skin. It is made-up of three layers, namely:
1) The epidermis
2) The dermis
3) The subcutaneous layer.

The skin acts as a shield between the body and millions of foreign substances which exist in the environment where we live. It also functions as a means of excreting toxin and other substances from the body, just like the kidneys and the bowels do. Because of this, the skin undergoes several changes in the development of bumps and blisters as well as changing in color, cracking, dryness, flaking, itching, redness, scaling, thickening and many other problems. A lot of things are responsible for these skin reactions, and some of them are: allergies to molds, food, chemicals, cosmetics, insect bite, reactions to plants such as poison ivy, diaper rash, reactions to the sun and wind, reactions to drugs or alcohol, reactions to detergents, etc.
