What is epidermis?

Yep, the outer layer of human skin.

I agree =)

I’m sorry I put the wrong word, I’m tryin to think of a skin condition, its like severe dry skin that tends to rip in the winter, and I can’t think of the right name. My apologies for the wrong word, if you happen to know the correct term for it could you tell me please

in Latin it is called: Stratum Corneum (most outer part that sometimes peels out)

Do you mean dermatitis?

epi is a prefix that means on or before, and dermis is your skin. the outer layer of your skin is known at the epidermis. The skin you see on your hand, for example, is the epidermis, but if you were to get a deep cut, you could see how there are more layers of dermis until it ends. When referring to your skin as a whole, you would call that the dermis.
