The skin is the body's largest organ. It performs a variety of tasks, including physical defense against hazardous chemicals and the manufacture of critical vitamins. The skin's position as a "border organ," indicating the line that separates the internal environment from the exterior world, is one of the most intriguing notions in characterizing it. Clinical indications of many visceral and metabolic disorders, as well as local ailments, can be seen in the skin. Damage, changes, and bad health conditions hinder social relationships in this way, which can lead to more or less significant psychological disorders.
This organ protects the body against mechanical, chemical, and poisonous aggressions, as well as heat, cold, UV radiation, and infectious microbes. It is also necessary for the maintenance of body fluid balance, acting as a barrier against potential water loss (transcutaneous water loss), the maintenance of thermal equilibrium, and the transmission of a large amount of external information to the organism via touch, pressure, temperature, and pain receptors.
The endocannabinoid system's strong link with the control of processes that contribute to skin illnesses such as psoriasis, acne, atopic dermatitis, scleroderma, and even some kinds of cancer has been investigated for decades.
