Hi!! Im Epi Dermis, but my friends just call me Skin!
Raise your hands if you sweat, tan, itch, have hair, or have freckles!
Ive been feeling pretty sensitive lately because everybody has something to say about me. But people dont always tell the truth.
My color doesnt make me fast, strong, smart, or scary. I just want to shout, Its just skin, silly!
