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.

What are the disadvantages of having skin?
Human skin, while having many wonderful advantages of its own, misses out on some interesting perks from other forms of outer membrane: Ameoba cell membrane: It keeps the shape of the ameoba and offers protection, much like human skin, but is far more semipermeable. This allows nutrients to pass easily through the membrane, while disallowing unwanted materials. Skin can do this to a degree [blocking dirt, allowing vitamin E], but not at the level of repelling toxins and taking in lunch. Reptile Skin: Reptile skin is water tight, offers more protection than human skin. Fur: Added warmth, many types of fur repel water and trap air (which aids in insulation and further adds warmpth). Some types of fur protect from extreme weather conditions, such as harsh cold and frost. Feathers: Aid in flight, repel water and mud The different skin types and outer coverings of animals enables them to live in varying environments, even in ecosystems that humans [with their skin] would find inhospitable. **** I realy cant see the disadvantages of us having skin... it have come from the evulution changed and evolved. it do it posible to feel, but that come fro nerves, it is water prof and isolate the body and do also ofthen regulate the bodys heat. so for what I can see it is none. it also hide our smelly body^^.
