The skin is the largest organ of the body. A newborn's skin is fragile and needs lots of oils applied to protect it. Blisters on the skin should be opened and allowed to drain.
Skin often bruises without any known cause.
Reflected sunrays are just as dangerous to the skin as direct sun. Athlete's foot is a common skin problem caused by bacteria. Ways to prevent athlete's foot include wearing cotton socks when you exercise and changing socks daily. Acne is a skin condition that occurs when oil-secreting glands become clogged and bacteria grow in the glands. Second-degree burns that blister the skin need oil or grease on them right away.
