Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward composition: 'skin' (the body organ) specifying the location of 'irritation' (a localized physical reaction), so the meaning 'irritation of the skin' is directly derivable from its parts. This noun + noun construction is common across languages and follows regular English compounding/modification patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
The phrase skin irritation paints a simple picture: the skin is touched or rubbed by something that causes irritation, so it turns red, sore, or 'itchy'. So, it means 'skin becoming red, sore, or itchy'.
