Cirrhosis is a condition that primarily affects the liver, not the skin. It is a late stage of scarring (fibrosis) of the liver caused by many forms of liver diseases and conditions, such as hepatitis and chronic Alcoholism. The term "cirrhosis of the skin" is not a recognized medical condition. If there is a specific skin condition you are referring to, please provide more information for a more accurate explanation.
