  • Structure and Functions of Skin6:05

    Explore the skin's three layers—epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous tissue—and how melanocytes, Langerhans cells, sebaceous and sweat glands support protection, hydration, thermoregulation, and cosmetic function.

  • Skin Types and Skin Colours5:14

    Explore six skin types by color (types 1–6) and four hydration types, and explain constitutive versus facultative skin color and the UV-related burning and tanning patterns.

  • Skin lesions2:44

  • Morphology of Lesion and How to read a Lesion7:28

    Identify basic lesion morphology by distinguishing primary, secondary, and special lesions, and learn distribution patterns like linear, dermatomal, serpiginous, annular, reticular, and grouped to aid diagnosis.

  • Observation and Identification of a Skin Lesion2:12

    Observe skin lesions with bright light and magnification to assess morphology, extent, and site, using five essential points for accurate visual diagnosis in dermatology.

  • Points to Diagnose any Skin Lesion4:38

    Identify diagnostic key points for skin lesions by examining morphology, distribution, and history, with examples like leprosy, vitiligo, psoriasis, and scabies to guide accurate skin disease diagnosis.

  • Importance of History taking in Skin Diseases3:10

    Develop diagnosis through systematic history taking in dermatology, correlating lesion morphology, onset, itching or pain, and associated factors like age and diabetes to identify scabies, chickenpox, or leprosy.

  • Basic Instruments in Skin set up1:52

    Explore essential dermatology instruments for skin setup, including magnifying lens, extraction tools, tweezers, and cleansing peels like glycolic and salicylic, to aid diagnosis and treatment.

Description

The skin is the largest organ of the body, with a total area of about 20 square feet. The skin protects us from microbes and the elements, helps regulate body temperature, and permits the sensations of touch, heat, and cold.

Skin has three layers:

  • The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone.

  • The dermis, beneath the epidermis, contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat glands.

  • The deeper subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis) is made of fat and connective tissue.


What are skin lesions?

A skin lesion is a part of the skin that has an abnormal growth or appearance compared to the skin around it.

Two categories of skin lesions exist: primary and secondary. Primary skin lesions are abnormal skin conditions present at birth or acquired over a person’s lifetime.

Secondary skin lesions are the result of irritated or manipulated primary skin lesions. For example, if someone scratches a mole until it bleeds, the resulting lesion, a crust, is now a secondary skin lesion.


E-Atlas  is an collection of relevant images denoting to a specific disorder or disease that help in gaining information of presentation of Disease and it's variable forms.

Under this course the E-Atlas of Psoriasis, Scabies , Vitiligo, Acne vulgaris, Keloid etc have been covered.
