CBS HealthWatch presents Diagnosis Skin

The “first of its kind” dedicated educational and awareness campaign dedicated to the understanding of your skin

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.
