Twacha or skin is the largest organ in the human body enveloping the whole body. The thickness of skin varies according to the part of the body it covers. Since, skin is the barrier separating the internal tissues and organs from the external environment; it is more prone to various types of hazards. The skin is affected potentially due to two main reasons. First, that it is exposed to the harmful environmental factors and secondly due to the degenerative and neoplastic changes occurring within its own various cell types which is the reason for majority of skin diseases. As it is generally seen that the most common reason for manifestation of skin diseases is faulty dietary habits.
