Skin, Hair & Nails

Did you know that your skin is the largest organ of your body? It is, in terms of both weight, between 6 and 9 pounds, and surface area, about 2 square yards. Your skin separates the inside of your body from the outside world. Your toenails and fingernails protect the tissues of your toes and fingers. They are made up of layers of a hardened protein called keratin, which is also in your hair and skin. Your nails' health can be a clue to your overall health. Did you know that the average person has 5 million hairs? Hair grows all over your body except on your lips, palms and the soles of your feet.

This is a great application that discusses the most important topics in skin, hair, and nail disorders.

This application is ideal for all medical professionals, medical residents and interns, nurses, medical students, and of course curious lay people who just want to learn more about skin, hair, and nail disorders.
