harmful microorganisms invade skin, causing redness, swelling, and pain

A skin infection, also known as a cutaneous infection, occurs when harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites invade the skin and its underlying tissues. These infections can manifest as redness, swelling, pain, and sometimes pus or other discharge, and may require medical treatment depending on the severity and type of pathogen involved.
