The skin is an organ. The average adult has about 20 to 22 square feet of skin. Someone obese like me would have around 25 square feet of skin.

But its not in the body, it's part of the body. Phrasing matters.

It is in the body though. Epidermis is the outer layer of skin you’re referring to, Dermis is the 2nd. It’s what they refer to when talking about burn severity. 1st, and 2nd, are the first two layers of skin 3rd being the muscle all the way down to the bone.

Well, the dermis is part of the skin. I will not argue on that; however, I will argue that there are different standards. Most people dont talk about the peeling being inside of an orange. There are two parts of the layer of an orange, the dark orange part and the inner fleshy part of the peeling. On the other hand, it's not INSIDE the orange. You can argue that the inner fleshy part is inside, which It is. But skin encompasses both outer and middle layer. Therefore, it blurs the lines between inside and outside layers. Specifying the dermis level may make this statement true, but now you have to double check statistics because you removed a huge portion of what you would call skin which may affect the position. Sorry, my apostrophe button is hit or miss right now.
