A packer is a downhole tool used to isolate the tubing from the casing. There are various types of packers- permanent ( which are milled up by tools like the metal munche ) and retrievable ones that can be run and out of the well. They are also set by wireline, mechanically , and hydraulically. Check out www.teamoiltools.com for pictures of packers.
Roughly Skin is a term used to describe the flowabilty interface of the well formation. The important thing is that the Service companies do not want to damage the skin and reduce the flow of the formation.

Look at the AS1-X packer drawing at Team's web site . The top of the drawing is a top sub with female threads while the bottom of the drawing is the bottom sub with a male thread.
Hope this helps
