Summary:
Skin cells are cells in the body that help it live, heal wounds, and grow. Skin cells form a layer to protect the body and keep the body's temperature normal. Skin has many layers that fit tightly together. Skin cells can become damaged when cut or burned, but skin can heal itself by making new skin cells. Skin cells don't function as they should when they become diseased or damaged. Skin cancer is one type of disease related to skin cells.
