Skin problem Dr Pim? I see! (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

epidermis

'skin' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'problem dr pim? i see' is the wordplay.
'problem' indicates anagramming the letters.
'dr'+'pim'+'i'+'see'='drpimisee'
'drpimisee' anagrammed gives 'EPIDERMIS'.

(Other definitions for epidermis that I've seen before include "Outermost layer" , "Protective covering" , "Surface of the skin" , "Outer layer of skin" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
