Skin, dermatology, art, paintingAbstract
Art and medicine have been bounded since the beginning of time for being intrinsically related to men and its existence, as it can be deduced from the multiple artistic works, especially paintings. Since very early in time and through history, artists have reflected in their art pieces the skin characteristics and its changes through life, as well as dermatological illnesses due to the fact that the majority of them are visible. Multiple doctors from different places who have been interested in the permanent process of acculturization have done important works in the search of skin manifestation in art. I present this article as a contribution towards that purpose, focusing in the physiological aspects of the skin, the cares that it needs and the changes in skin caused by time and external factors.
