While there isn't a specific scientific name for skin itself, it's often referred to as the integument. The integument is the organ system that covers the body's surface, providing protection and receiving sensory input from the external environment. It's composed of multiple layers, including the epidermis and dermis.
The term "cutaneous" means "of the skin" and is often used in medical contexts to describe something related to the skin.
For example, "cutaneous melanoma" refers to melanoma that originates in the skin.
