    The human skin has three main layers - the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. The epidermis contains melanin and protects against UV light through its seven layers. The dermis contains connective tissue and is responsible for releasing oil and sweat through touch and thermoreceptors. The hypodermis stores fat and contains blood vessels. Common skin diseases include eczema, acne, cold sores, and the dangerous melanoma. The document emphasizes taking care of one's skin.
