More info:
“A more permeable second skin might be used for undereye bags while a less permeable one might hold a medication in place.”

No telling how many devices, medications, pouches, tubes, and collection bags she is hiding under those tents.

Thanks, I saw that too.

There are many drugs that are/can be delivered by a transdermal patch or transdermally. Below are the drug transdermal patches available from Wikipedia:

Popular use:

The highest selling transdermal patch in the United States is the nicotine patch, which releases nicotine in controlled doses to help with cessation of tobacco smoking. The first commercially available vapour patch to reduce smoking was approved in Europe in 2007.

Two opioid medications used to provide round-the-clock relief for severe pain are often prescribed in patch form, fentanyl CII (marketed as Duragesic) and buprenorphine CIII (marketed as BuTrans).

Hormonal patches

estrogen patches are sometimes prescribed to treat menopausal symptoms (as well as post-menopausal osteoporosis) and to transgender women as a type of hormone replacement therapy.

contraceptive patch (marketed as Ortho Evra or Evra) and
testosterone CIII patches for both men (Androde) and women (Intrinsa).

Nitroglycerin patches are sometimes prescribed for the treatment of angina in lieu of sublingual pills.

Transdermal scopolamine is commonly used as a treatment for motion sickness.[3]

The anti-hypertensive drug clonidine is available in transdermal patch form[4] under the brand name Catapres-TTS.[5]
Emsam, a transdermal form of the MAOI selegiline, became the first transdermal delivery agent for an antidepressant approved for use in the U.S. in March 2006.[6]

Daytrana, the first methylphenidate transdermal delivery system for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), was approved by the FDA in April 2006.[7]
Vitamin B12 may also be administered through a transdermal patch. Cyanocobalamin, a highly stable form of vitamin B12, is compatible with transdermal patching[citation needed].
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) can also be administered through a transdermal patch, which was launched in the United Kingdom in early 2014.[8]

Rivastigmine, an Alzheimer’s treatment medication, was released in patch form in 2007, under the brand name Exelon[9]

There is probably no limit to the drugs that could be placed under these second skins.
