Skin, one of the vital organs stretched all over the human body,
and hardly a few millimeters in thickness, makes one perceive the
outer world by the sense of touch. All vital parts of body like the

face, hands, arms, legs—the organs to which one attaches the utmost
importance—are covered by skin. Owing to its sensitivity, the
