Fun facts on Skin & Skin Rashes

My friends, the skin is the largest organ. It plays a vital role in detecting heat and cold and regulating body temperature. The skin protects the rest of the body by acting as basic natural elements such as wind, water and ultraviolet rays to protect the rest of the body as a physical, chemical and biological barrier… …But this is only for beginners. Your skin is much more than you think. Here are some of the most interesting facts about your skin:

• Common rashes include COVID-19 rash, eczema, poison ivy, hives, and athlete’s foot
• A rash that develops gradually is usually a treatable skin disease
• Changes in the skin can sometimes indicate a change in your overall health.
• Be careful of the cream you put on the rash
• Skin accounts for about 15% of body weight. The average skin area of ​​an adult is approximately 21 square feet, weighs 9 pounds, and has blood vessels over 11 miles in length.
• The average person has about 300 million skin cells. A single square inch of skin has about 19 million cells and up to 300 sweat glands.
• The average person’s skin covers an area of 2 square meters.
• The average adult has approximately 21 square feet of skin, which weighs 9 lbs and contains more than 11 miles of blood vessels.

• Some of the nerves in your skin are connected to muscles instead of the brain, sending signals (through the spinal cord) to react more quickly to heat, pain, etc.
• A number of receptors are distributed throughout the skin to respond to various touch-related stimuli. These receptors include Meissner’s corpuscles, Pacinian corpuscles, Merkel’s disks, and Ruffini corpuscles.
