Yes, skin does have nerves. Both the dermis and epidermis have nerve endings. These carry information about temperature, sensation (pleasure or pain), and pressure. The dermis, the middle layer of skin, contains pain and touch receptors. These receptors allow you to feel things like heat, cold, pressure, and pain.
The nerves in your skin are part of your peripheral nervous system, which is responsible for sending information from your body to your brain and back again. This information allows you to perceive your surroundings and react to them.
For example, if you touch a hot stove, the nerve endings in your skin will send a signal to your brain that tells you it's hot. This signal will cause you to quickly withdraw your hand to avoid being burned.
