Dude, you can’t even explain to us on here your specific problem. And we’re in this same business. How do you expect to communicate to Google?
What “the skim” anyways? Something supposed to be unread?
You aren’t supposed to tell Google something’s ok. Google’s informing you something is not ok.
Are your links “natural”? Or not? Would anyone naturally want to link to your website? Are you showing Google one thing, and readers something different? Those penalties are clear. It sounds like you are in denial.

Jaredl advice is spot on. Getting that type of penalty you got got be doing something different.
Have you tested to see what your site looks like if you use Googlebot preview or any other type of crawler? Are there are redirects at all in place that might have gone wrong or treat robots and crawlers differently than users?
In theory, if you use a traffic trading script you could be said to be cloaking your site, but that is if it actually redirects the visitors without any interaction on their behalf. Traditionally skimming from what I remember is only on clicks out. But I also remember that the same scripts can do different things depending on what type of traffic it is. Could there for example be a chance that google is following your outgoing adult links and notice that you redirect them differently than users? It’s not exactly cloaking but who knows now days what Google thinks.
I would also think that skimming is probably not something Google “likes” or want webmasters to do. It’s blink links after all. Skimming is also not used by that many normal webmasters any more.
Maybe it”s worth seeing if anyone using the same script as you are having the same problems?
Ah. Skimming involves cloaking and redirecting.
In other words, his Google penalties.

Yesterday, when this post popped up, I checked my own site and noticed Google was displaying a “This site may be hacked” notice in the SERPS. So I looked into it and Webmaster Tools said that some “Link Injection” malware got installed in one of my directories. (It was an old blog that I hadn’t been keeping updated.)
I had my host take care of the problem and resubmitted my adult site for consideration along with an explanation of what happened and what I did to fix it. Today, the warning in the SERPS is gone.
Don’t know why I’m telling you this except to point out that it is possible to turn these types of things around and Google does seem to respond, and in this case, pretty quickly.
