CBS HealthWatch presents Diagnosis Skin
The “first of its kind” dedicated educational and awareness campaign dedicated to
the understanding of your skin
More than skin deep
The skin is the largest organ of the body and accounts for about 16 percent of a
person’s body weight. It is flexible, waterproof and covers the entire outside of the
body. It performs several important roles as a barrier and regulating influence
between the outside environment and the controlled environment within our bodies.
With hundreds of skin types and our skin in a constant state of change,
understanding how it works will help consumers become more attentive to this vital
and often misunder-stood part of our body. Our focus campaign this year will build towards November National Healthy Skin Month which has as its mission the achievement of the highest quality dermatologic care for all Americans.
