The skin

Squamous cells. The outermost layer is continuously shed is called the stratum corneum.

  • Basal cells. Basal cells are found just under the squamous cells, at the base of the epidermis.

  • Melanocytes. Melanocytes are also found at the base of the epidermis and make melanin. This gives the skin its color.

  • Dermis

    The dermis is the middle layer of the skin. The dermis contains the following:

    • Blood vessels

    • Lymph vessels

    • Hair follicles

    • Sweat glands

    • Collagen bundles

    • Fibroblasts

    • Nerves

    • Sebaceous glands

    The dermis is held together by a protein called collagen. This layer gives skin flexibility and strength. The dermis also contains pain and touch receptors.

    Subcutaneous fat layer

    The subcutaneous fat layer is the deepest layer of skin. It consists of a network of collagen and fat cells. It helps conserve the body's heat and protects the body from injury by acting as a shock absorber.


    • Skin surgery: Most skin cancers must be removed by surgery.

    • Immune modulators: Various drugs can modify the activity of the immune system, improving psoriasis or other forms of dermatitis.

    • Skin moisturizers (emollients): Dry skin is more likely to become irritated and itchy. Moisturizers can reduce symptoms of many skin conditions.
