A skin disorder not only affects the physical health , but also your emotional well-being. If lest untreated , skin disorders often worsen and can even lead to deeper emotional issues such as low self esteem , depression and anxiety. Skin is composed of three layers – The epidermis , dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The epidermis is the thin , outermost layer of the skin. Under the epidermis is a thicker layer of the skin called dermis. The subcutaneous layer , also referred to as the subcutis , is a layer of fats and connective tissue that consists of larger blood vessels and nerves. Skin disorders are related to the epidermis , the outermost layer of the skin. They are usually due to bacterial , viral or fungal infections or may be a sign of imbalance of the internal body system.
