How does Skin protect the body from microorganisms?

Answer 1

The unwashed skin is rich in gamma globulin, an organic compound that discourages the growth of microbes. The skin is usually teeming with bacteria, yet they do not cause infections because gamma globulin holds them in check.

Answer 2

The skin provides both a mechanical and in some places a chemical barrier preventing microorganisms from entering the body. The skin has an unbroken surface, and produces acidic secretions that inhibit bacteria.

Answer 3

skin covers the tissues. It forms a barrier for foreign antigens and bacteria. Along with it the sweat contains bacteriosidal agents that kills the bacteria on contact.
